Alerts
    Learn about alerts that help you keep informed about changes in your deployment so
        that you can investigate them and take preventive actions if necessary.

To help you maintain the ongoing health of your devices and avoid
            business-disrupting incidents, 
AIOps for NGFW or 
Strata Cloud Manager
            generates alerts based on one or more issues that it has detected with your firewall
            deployment. These issues, or 
events, are triggered in one of three
            ways:
- When a metric changes significantly 
- When a previously generated event changes 
- When the user or system performs an action, such as acknowledging or closing an
                    alert 
An alert indicates a specific problem (degradation or loss of firewall functionality)
            that needs to be addressed. Alerts can also be generated based on correlation or
            aggregation across multiple events. This aggregation of events into a single alert helps
            triage, streamline alert hand-off between teams, centralize critical information, and
            reduce notification fatigue.
Alerts fall into different categories depending on the metric with which they are
            associated. You can use alert categories to specify the kinds of alerts for which you
            receive notifications. For example, Hardware, Config limits, Resource limits, Dynamic
            content, and PAN-OS & Subscriptions.
From , you can view and manage all of the alerts generated for your deployment.
            In Notification Rules, you can configure notification rules that
            specify when and how you would like to be notified when events trigger an alert.
