Message: ALERT ...

Explanation: An ALERT email is sent when one or more target database conditions match user-defined criteria.

The Monitor Options page lets you turn alerts on and off and specify alert criteria for a particular target database. Individual criteria may include a threshold amount and/or a duration or waiting period.

The "Recent alert history" section of an ALERT email is a list of recent ALERT, ALL CLEAR and CANCELLED conditions for this target database.

The "Recent sample history" section of an ALERT email shows what the Foxhound History page looks like when the alert was issued, including blocked and current connections.

The sort order for the current connections section of an ALERT email depends on the alert condition, as follows:
