Clone alert definitions

What permissions do I need?

To access the Alerts configuration area and clone alerts, you need the Manage level of the Alert configuration permission (see a detailed descriptions of the alerts permissions here).

Additionally, you need to have alerts assigned with Manage access (see Assign resources to a role).

How to clone alert definitions

You can clone an alert definition to quickly edit its details or assign it a different sending policy.

To clone an alert, you need to find the alert in question (you can use the filters explained in the section above), click the ellipsis at the end of the alert row, and select Clone. Then, edit the alert parameters in the Clone Alert Definition window and click Clone.

In this window, you can change everything except the category, query and triggering method. Even though the triggering method cannot be changed, some of its parameters can be modified. If you want to modify the query, simply finish the cloning and then edit it.

Once cloned, it is activated by default unless the limit has been exceeded (more info here).
