You can manage validators from the global Validators page, the Validators tab on the Source details page, or the individual Validator details page. For an overview of these pages and what information they display, see Reviewing Validators. For information about creating new validators, see Configuring a Validator.

Actions Available by Page

The following table summarizes which management actions are available on each page.

• On the global Validators page and the Source Validators tab, actions are accessed from the ⋮ menu on each validator row.
• On the Validator details page, actions are accessed from the controls and ⋮ menu at the top of the page.

Validator Management Actions

Updating a Validator

You can update a validator's configuration, including the display name, description, and filters. On the global Validators page, updating is limited to the display name, description, and filters. On the Source Validators tab and Validator details page, click the ⋮ menu and select Update to edit the full validator configuration.

Updating Thresholds

On the Validator details page (Metric tab), click Update threshold to modify the threshold settings on the validator. This option is not available on the Overview tab. For more information, see Updating Threshold Settings.

Assigning an Owner

On the Validator details page, you can assign or update the Owner of the validator. By default, the owner is set to the creator of the validator, and all incidents detected will inherit the same owner.

Updating the Priority

The Priority helps you and other users understand the importance of any issues or incidents that are detected on a source or validator. The priority can be None, Low, Medium, High, or Critical.

• Validator priorities will override the source priority. Incidents detected on the validator will inherit the priority that is assigned to the validator.
• If the validator does not have a priority the incident will inherit the source priority. (You cannot change the priority on an incident or incident group.)

You set the priority during configuration, but you can update it from the Source Validators tab or the Validator details page by clicking the priority value and selecting a new one from the list.

Muting a Validator

You can mute a validator to silence notifications for a specified time period. For more information, see Muting Incident Notifications.

Duplicating a Validator

You can duplicate a validator to create a copy with the same configuration. Click the ⋮ menu and select Duplicate.

Resetting a Validator

Resetting a validator deletes all existing metric data, incidents, and artifacts from the selected validators and places them into a pending backfill mode. This granular approach allows you to trigger targeted backfills and update thresholds without the risk of disrupting your existing integrations.

❗️

Resetting is a destructive action and cannot be undone. All previously calculated metrics and incident history will be lost. Ensure that you no longer need this data before proceeding.

Common scenarios for resetting:

1. Underlying data has changed — The source data was corrected or backfilled, and you need to re-validate against the updated records.
2. Threshold sensitivity was adjusted — You updated a dynamic threshold and want to retrain the model on the full history with the new settings.

Deleting a Validator

You can delete a validator to permanently remove it and its associated data. Click the ⋮ menu and select Delete.

Managing Incidents

From the incidents list on the Validator details page (Metric tab), you can:

• Update the status of an incident during investigation or triage.
• View the debug information to troubleshoot the incident. For more information, see Debugging an Incident.
• Click View Group Details to open a more detailed incident group view for troubleshooting and root cause analysis. For more information, see Managing Incident Groups.
