Review Events

In the Sysdig Monitor Events feed, you can select an event to review it in detail.

The Event Details panel is displayed on the right side of the screen.

Here you can see detailed information about the event, such as the time of occurrence, and details of its exact location in your infrastructure.

The Event Details Panel

The Event Details panel contains detailed information about the event. The details shown depend depend on the event type. Details will vary between Alert, Custom, Container, and Kubernetes events.

Alert Events

The example given below is of an Alert Event:


MetadataDescription
Event IDA 19-character unique identifier for the event in the event feed. Note: This is different from the 6-character alert occurrence ID used to identify a specific alert occurrence.
SeverityThe severity of the event (High, Medium, Low, Info).
StatusThe current state of the event (Triggered, Resolved)
Fired ForDuration the alert has been active. This starts when the alert condition is met and stops once the condition is no longer true.
AcknowledgedIndicates whether the event has been acknowledged by a user.
Alert RuleThe name of the alert rule that generated the event.
Alert TypeThe type of alert. For example, Threshold, Prometheus, Event, Group Outlier
QueryThe expression defined in the alert rule that was satisfied when the alert rule was triggered
Count Events that Match(Alert on Events only) The specific search criteria that matched one or more events, triggering this alert.
Threshold (Optional)The threshold that was satisfied, resulting in the alert being triggered
Triggered Value (Optional)The value of the expression at the time the alert was triggered
Resolution Value (Optional)The value of the expression that caused the alert to resolve
SegmentThe unique entity that triggered the alert rule.
ScopeAdditional context derived from labels enriched by the Sysdig agent. These labels provide more precise identification of the entity or environment where the event occurred.

Click Troubleshoot to open the PromQL Query page. The page is automatically populated with the alert rule’s expression at the exact time when the alert occurrence was triggered. Review the query result to investigate what caused the alert.
