Analyzing Alerts

Alerts warn you of potential security weaknesses in your database. Privilege
Monitor offers three ways of detecting weakness:

• Alert Messages

• Privilege Summary

• UDR Results

Alert Messages

The specific alerts you receive depend upon which System Views, and UDRs
you have enabled. (Alternately, you can also get alert information via email. See

Configuring Receivers for Alert Emails

.)

Accessing Alert Messages

To view Alert Messages, click on the Analysis -> Alert Messages menu.

Alert Messages Screen

From the Alert Message screen, you can delete any alerts. A permanent copy
exists in the FortiDB MA internal database, so you can always retrieve old alerts
using the Reporting utility

, even if you have deleted them from this screen.
