## About raw events

An event is a single collection of data, just like a record in a log file. Events are sent to Devo maintaining their original (raw) format, and tags are assigned to identify some key characteristics and to group them into virtual data tables in Devo. 

**Triggered alerts** page allows accessing those raw events related to a specific alert to increase monitor capacities.

Whenever possible, Devo remove the `GROUP BY` clause from the alert query to display the events as they were received. However, we still filter the data using the extra data information provided in the alert details to show only the events responsible for triggering the specific alert

## What permissions do I need?

To access the Alerts overview area and see the alert queries, you need at least the *Triggered alerts (view)* permission (see a detailed description of the alerts permissions [here](https://docs.devo.com/space/latest/530153550)).

Additionally, you need to have alerts assigned with *View* access (see [Assign resources to a role](https://docs.devo.com/space/latest/94763463)), which will be those you will see on the list.

## Download raw events

### From the alert list

The **Download **option allows you to download a CSV file containing raw events that triggered the specific alert. Click on the option and a notification will appear in the upper-left side of the page indicating the status of the download file.

## Manage raw events

The **ellipsis** button associated with each triggered alert allows to manage the specific raw events. Selecting the **Raw events** option, you can decide if your prefer view the events associated in the **same page** or open it in a **new tab**.
