Overview Page

The Overview page details the issues your triggered alerts have flagged. A summary at the top of the page shows when your pages were last evaluated, grouped by alert type. Pages are evaluated daily; the specific time correlates to when you validated your Robots.txt file in AlertPanel Settings.

Alerts are displayed with the most recent at the top of the list in cards that include the following information*:

  1. The alert name.

  2. Link to the alert description.

  3. The pagetypes (i.e., segments) most affected by the issue.

  4. A trend sparkline of the movement in the issue over the previous 14 crawls or days.

  5. A metric showing the variation above or below the average, calculated over the previous 14 crawls or days. A “New Occurrence” tag is displayed here when the alert previously reported 0 affected URLs or Crawl Requests.

  6. Link to the action associated with the alert type.

  7. Link to manage the Alert Groups to which the alert belongs.

Due to the nature of Robots.txt alerts, they only include the alert's name and the action.

AlertPanel Actions

Alert cards on the AlertPanel Overview page contain links that can help you dive deeper into the specific issue highlighted by the alert, including:

  • Your Robots.txt file for Robots.txt alerts

  • Your LogAnalyzer report for log file alerts

  • Access to the SiteCrawler URL Explorer for custom alerts based on SiteCrawler

You can investigate further by applying the page-level metrics and dimensions associated with alerts in the SiteCrawler URL Explorer and LogAnalyzer. The information in these alerts can then be easily shared with appropriate team members for resolution.
