📘 This article explains how to view, mute, and delete AlertPanel alerts. AlertPanel is part of Botify's Intelligence Suite, available with a Botify Pro or Enterprise plan.
Overview
Alerts in AlertPanel are organized into groups that allow you to designate different recipients for each type of alert. The default Alert Groups categorize alerts by their source:
Custom Alerts: Alerts you create based on data in Botify’s SiteCrawler analysis.
AlertPanel Daily Crawl: Alerts based on the strategic pages you define in AlertPanel settings.
Robots.txt: Alerts based on analysis of your site’s Robots.txt.
Log Analyzer: Alerts based on your site’s log files.
Access alerts and Alert Groups by navigating to Intelligence > AlertPanel > Manage Alerts & Groups through the main navigation bar:
The Manage Alerts & Groups page displays a card for each existing Alert Group. From this page, you can:
Viewing Alert Details
Each Alert Group is displayed on a card with the number of alerts and the recipients assigned to the group.
Click the View Alerts link to expand the card with the details of each alert:
The following details are displayed:
Alert Name: The name that identifies the alert.
Alert Status: Indicator of alert being active or inactive.
Actions: Options to mute and delete (custom alerts only) the alert.
Additionally, custom alerts include the following:
Filters: The metrics that are applied to URL Explorer to filter the data for the alert.
Changes in behavior: Indicator of a rise or drop in the number of pages affected by the issue since the previous crawl.
Scope: Group of pages to which the alert applies.
Muting and Deleting Alerts
Project Admins can temporarily mute (i.e., deactivate) any alert and delete custom alerts from the Manage Alerts & Groups page; you cannot delete default alerts.
To mute an alert for all users in the Alert Group:
Click the mute icon in the alert row.
Select the desired duration, and then click Save. The alert will be activated at the end of the selected duration, or when you manually activate it if you selected the "Mute until reactivation" option.
When you mute an alert all users in the Alert Group will stop receiving all notifications for the issue. Click the Unmute icon in the alert row to activate a muted alert.
To permanently delete a custom alert for all users:
Click the trash can in the alert row.
Click Delete in the confirmation message.
