Manual alert grouping involves organizing and categorizing alerts based on user-defined criteria and direct intervention.

You can manually select and group alerts to better manage and resolve incidents by tailoring the grouping based on specific needs, relevance, or context. This approach ensures that alerts are categorized effectively, enhancing overall
incident management and response efficiency.
