3. Optionally, click Acknowledge All to acknowledge all the alerts at once.

Important Points:

Once an alert is acknowledged, the alert is moved to the Acknowledged tab.

All Acknowledged Alerts can be viewed when the Show Acknowledged Alerts button is ON.

If the user does not acknowledge an alert, the alert is suppressed for 5 minutes. The alert notification is then sent to the user every 5 minutes in case the issue still persists.

If the user acknowledges an alert, the alert is suppressed until the issue is resolved. After resolving the issue, if it re-occurs the alert is sent again.

4. Optionally, enable the Show Acknowledged Alerts button to display the list of acknowledged alerts.
