# March 2026 - Alerting

The following updates were released to the Kentik platform for Alerting during March 2026.

## Features

- **Alert comments API**: Create and list comments on alerts through the public API, enabling better integration with external systems and alert documentation workflows.
- **Filter suppressions by device name**: The Suppressions & Silences page now lets you filter and search silences by device name in addition to device ID.
- **Bulk create policies from templates**: Create multiple policies from selected templates in a single action, with batch tracking and a toast link to the newly created policies.
- **Improved policy type selector**: The Unified Policy type selector now uses a card-based visual interface, making it easier to choose between NMS, Flow, BGP Neighbor, Device, Interface, Component, and Agent policy types.
- **ServiceNow Event API support**: ServiceNow notification channels can now use either the Table API or the new Event API, with dedicated event templates.
- **Notification template presets & validation**: Browse preset notification templates and validate templates before deployment with detailed error reporting.
- **Subpolicy updates with disabled parents**: You can now update subpolicies via bulk operations even when the parent policy is disabled.

## Bug Fixes
- **Send test notification from preview**: The "Send Test Notification" button in the notification preview now works correctly.
- **Preserve threshold settings on enable/disable**: Enabling or disabling a policy no longer overwrites threshold frequency/activation settings.
- **Notification usage table**: Fixes excessive loading and confusing tenant-policy notification usage display; subpolicies now show individual entries.
