Alert triaging

You can prioritize alert triaging to analyze alerts associated with risky entities using the following features in the Elastic Security app.

Alerts page

Use the Alerts table to investigate and analyze host and user risk levels and scores. We recommend adding the user.risk.calculated_level and host.risk.calculated_level columns to the Alerts table to easily display this data. To do this, select Fields, search for user.risk and host.risk, then select the appropriate fields from the list. Learn more about customizing the Alerts table.
