Setting Alerts Manually

When you know exactly what you care about, set an alert manually instead of relying on a tracker’s matches.

Creating a manual alert (planned)

1. Open Alerts → New alert.
2. Choose the subject:
   • a technology and optional version range,
   • a specific CVE identifier, or
   • an attack type.
3. Set the criticality threshold and the contacts to notify.
4. Save.

From a story

Any story page offers Alert on this — it pre-fills a manual alert with the story’s technologies and affected versions so you only choose the threshold and contacts.

What manual alerts never do

A manual alert never widens what sources are read and never changes a story’s score. It only watches already-scored stories for your subject.
