Question: 

How do I re-issue an alert without having to delete/re-collect data?

Answer:

To re-issue an alert without having to delete/re-collect data, please follow the steps below:

1.  Get the Alert ID number for the alert you want to re-issue: Content > Alerts > Overview > "Alert ID" column

2.  Next, in another browser window, paste /service/ns/alert/ after the hostname. You'll be presented with an 'Alert ID'. Enter the Alert ID number and press [Send]. For example: https://<hostname>.com/service/ns/alert/ then hit [Send].
