Alert Triggering Information

AlertOps will automatically create an incident when a new alert is received from Dynatrace with an IncidentStatus status of “OPEN.”

If an alert with status “OPEN” matches an existing Open Alert, AlertOps will recognize the new alert as a duplicate and ignore the alert. The alert will be recorded in the Inbound Messages table as “Mapped Appended.”
