Insights

The Insights page shows all the insights that Vantage IQ has collected throughout the day. The dashboard shows insights which relate to items within the environment that need to be addressed. The severity and the last trigger time of the insights are used to sort them.

Status bar

This bar shows:
  • The number of open insights
  • The number of acknowledged insights
  • The number of muted insights

Insight types

Critical

You should investigate this type of insight as soon as possible. The majority of critical insights relate to security issues.

Warning
