Displaying System Alerts

To display the Alerts page, click Dashboard → Alerts, or click the Number of Alerts link on the Dashboard page.
The Alerts page displays the Current Time Zone (for example, US/Pacific), the Number of Alerts, and a system alerts
summary table that lists the total number of system alerts by index number, timestamp, and a brief message that
describes the alert.
Unresolved critical events become system alerts, which will clear when the problem is resolved. For more information,
