Test alerts
You can test the correct functioning of the alerts by sending a Test Alert.
Test Alerts have a severity value of Info and have their own specific Situation. Firewall, Layer 2 Firewall, and IPS engines cannot send Test Alerts. The sender is always an SMC server, so it is not possible to test how alerts from other components are handled using a Test Alert.
Note: A Test Alert is escalated only if the Alert Policy rules match Test Alerts.
