Alert Summary The Alert Summary section displays all known and current alerts, as previously configured and enabled in
the System > Alerts page. Alerts can be sorted using the column headers (Type, Last 2 Hours, Last Day, Total,
or Last Event). The Alert Summary field displays four types of alerts, as follows:
 AWMS Alerts
 IDS Events
