Viewing Incidents

Scenario

An incident is a broad concept. It can include but is not limited to alerts. It can be a part of normal system operations, exceptions, or errors. In the O&M and security fields, an incident usually refers to a problem or fault that has occurred and needs to be focused on, investigated, and handled. An incident may be triggered by one or more alerts or other factors, such as user operations and system logs.

An incident is usually used to record and report historical activities in a system for analysis and audits.

On the Incidents page in SecMaster, you can check the incident list for the last 360 days. The list contains incident names, types, severity levels, and occurrence time. By customizing filtering conditions, such as the incident name, risk severity, and time, you can quickly query information about the specific incident.

This topic describes how to view incident information.
