Filtering the Labeled Alarms and Vulnerabilities

USM Anywhere uses labels as a mechanism to classify alarms and vulnerabilities. These labels make it easy to filter items by label so that you can locate them easily and track their status. When the BlueApp for Jira executes a response action for an alarm or vulnerability, it automatically applies the Jira label to it. You can use this label as a filter so that a page displays data for only those items related to an BlueApp for Jira response action.
