View alert details

From your list of alerts in the alert center, you can drill down to view more details about individual alerts. Each alert type has different details and provides you with different options when responding to an alert.

To view alert details:

  1. Sign in with an administrator account to the Google Admin console.

    If you aren’t using an administrator account, you can’t access the Admin console.

  2. Go to Menu and then Security > Alert center.
     

  3. To view more details, click any item on the page to open the alert details page.
     

    From the alert details page, you can view details about an alert, delete an alert, access details about the rule that generated the alert, and take other actions.
     
 

Note: The alert center doesn’t display timezone details. Times in the alert center are formatted to your browser timezone preference.

Access the alert center from anywhere in the Admin console

From anywhere in the Google Admin console, you can view the Alerts widget to get a quick view of alerts affecting your organization. The Alerts widget includes a list of alerts, a short description for each alert, and the severity level (High, Medium, or Low). 

To open the Alerts widget, click the bell iconat the top of any page in the Admin console. To access the alert details for a specific alert, click one of the line items in the widget. To access the complete list of alerts in the alert center, click View all.

Configure alert center email notifications

In addition to viewing alert center alerts in the Google Admin console, you can set up alert center email notifications. For details and instructions, see Configure alert center email notifications

Important: When adding recipients to email notifications, you have the option to add groups. To make sure users outside of your organization are able to send email notifications to the group, you'll need to correctly configure access settings for that group. For instructions, see View or edit group access settings for email notifications.
