Alerts: Monitor, Review and Track Ingested Alerts

Review verdicts, enriched context and actions taken by Auto Triage on ingested alerts.

Overview

The Alerts page is a single, centralized view of all alerts ingested into Torq and processed by Auto Triage. Review key triage outcomes, including AI-assigned verdicts, severity, sources, and created cases.

Auto Triage is not enabled by default. To get access, contact Torq Support.

How to use

In the Alerts page, all the alerts ingested into your workspace are shown in list view. Narrow the alert list with sorting and filtering to quickly surface the most relevant or high-impact alerts. Click on an individual alert to view more details.

Filter and sort alerts

Sort alerts by time acknowledged, verdict, alert name, source or severity.

Show the filter categories using the + icon at the top of the display and add the filters you want to use. Filter by:

  • Time range (time acknowledged)

  • Verdict

  • MITRE ATT&CK tactics

  • Severity

  • Alert source

  • Rule

  • Case created date

  • Case state

  • Closed by (analyst, Socrates or workflow)

Search

Search alerts using intuitive free-text. Searchable fields include:

  • Alert ID

  • Alert name

  • Alert summary

  • Verdict justification

  • Observables

  • MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques

  • Related case ID

Select the relevant field chips to refine the search and show only results that match specific fields. Expand the results to see a preview of each match.

Search results retain any applied filters and sorting, and you can further narrow the results with additional filters.

Perform actions in bulk

Select multiple alerts to perform a bulk verdict confirmation or verdict change. Enter feedback in the dialogue box. You can optionally create a rule when changing a verdict by clicking Save as rule. This automatically saves the verdict changes and opens the Rules page in a new tab.

Verdict confirmation or change will appear in the history of each selected alert.

You can undo the bulk action within 5 seconds.

Review an alert

Click on an individual alert to open the alert view for deeper insight. View Auto Triage analysis and results, validate decisions, and take further actions.

The alert view shows details from the original acknowledged alert and the Auto Triage enrichment and triage context. View details such as the alert type, when the alert was detected by the source, the severity assigned by the source system, and any mitigation actions that took place before ingestion.

To open the original alert in the source platform, hover over the source name in the alert and click the Open icon.

Confirm or change verdict and severity

In the alert view, analysts can review the AI-assigned verdict and severity. Confirm or change the results by selecting the relevant option. When confirming or making changes, provide a reason to ensure transparency and auditability.

Analyst feedback on verdict outcomes helps refine Auto Triage decision-making and improve accuracy over time.

If a case is created from an alert—automatically or manually—and an analyst reclassifies the alert as False Positive, the system automatically closes the case with the resolution reason False Positive. The case record notes that the case was automatically closed due to a user-initiated verdict change.

Alert analysis

In the alert view Overview tab, you can review the Auto Triage analysis and enriched insights. Scroll to view the:

  • Alert summary, including a visual timeline

  • Justification, with supporting evidence, is used by the AI

  • Observables, with detailed context

  • MITRE ATT&CK® mapping, including tactics and techniques

  • Rules applied to the alert

    • Hover over an entry in the list and click the link to open the rule.

  • Guidance used to add context

    • Hover over an entry in the list and click the link to open the rule.

Suggested actions

Auto Triage provides recommended actions to help analysts understand potential next steps and respond efficiently.

Alert history

The History tab shows a complete activity history, showing how the alert has evolved, providing a clear record of all events and decisions. The following events generate entries in the history:

  • Alert ingested

  • Enrichment completed

  • Triage completed

  • Verdict applied

  • Severity changed

  • Case created

  • Case closed

About the process

The tab shows four stages of the triage pipeline: Processing, Enrichment, Recall, and Verdict.

Recall: Historical case context

Recall is a component of the Auto Triage SOC Brain. Each time Auto Triage evaluates an alert, Recall searches your closed and resolved cases for observable matches. It then passes the most relevant case context to triage as structured input. Recall is deterministic: the same observable always returns the same precedent case.

Recall matches these observable types: IP addresses, URLs, file hashes, hostnames, and email addresses. The more observables a historical case shares with the current alert, the higher its relevance in the enrichment. Recall automatically excludes cases with no observable overlap. By default, only matches from the past 30 days are included.

In the alert's verdict justification, you will see which historical cases were referenced, which observables were used for matching, and how those cases were resolved. Click any referenced case link to open it directly.

The more consistently your team documents resolution reasons and associates observables when closing cases in Torq, the stronger this enrichment becomes.

Additional options

In the top-right of the alert view, open the three-dot menu for more options. Copy a link to the alert for easy sharing, and view the source alert or triaged alert in JSON format for deeper analysis and troubleshooting.

Steps

Use the Auto Triage steps in your Torq workflows to retrieve and manage triaged alerts.

  • Get triaged alert: Returns the full details of a specific triaged alert, including verdict, severity, observables, MITRE ATT&CK mappings, and associated case.

  • Query triaged alerts: Retrieves triaged alerts filtered by verdict, severity, date range, alert source, analyst feedback, and case status.

  • List alert history: Returns the complete event history for a specific alert.

  • Confirm verdict: Records an analyst's confirmation of the Auto Triage verdict without changes.

  • Change verdict: Overrides the AI-assigned verdict, severity, or both on a triaged alert.

  • Undo verdict review — Removes the analyst verdict review and restores the original Auto Triage verdict.

API

The Auto Triage public API provides programmatic access to triaged alerts and verdict management outside of workflows and the Auto Triage UI. It supports the same operations available through the workflow steps and through the Auto Triage interface.
