Alert Manager: Why are Triggered Alerts not showing in the Incident Settings of the app?

[leonheart78]

I have installed the Alert Manager app and triggered an Alert through my savedsearch. I have ensured that the permission of the Alert is set to Global, and Read permission to All Apps and Everyone.

However, I'm unable to see any trigger alerts in the Alert Manager App. Pls help.

Hi I think you have 2 options at the moment if you have Splunk 6.3 download the new app:
https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/2665/#/overview the new app in combination with Splunk 6.3 uses alert actions this is a lot easier to setup.

If you are still on the old alert manager app or on Splunk < 6.3 make sure you read this part about the installation: https://github.com/simcen/alert_manager#installation
Basically you have to create a link between the .py script from alert manager and the script directory of Splunk so that the Alert script will catch the new alerts.
Hope this helps.
