# September 2026 - Alerting

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

## Features

- **Keep and view suppressed alerts**: Suppressed alerts are now kept, and you can list alerts to exclude, include or show only suppressed ones. Notifications are no longer sent for suppressed alert activations.
- **Suppression preview**: You can preview which alerts a suppression will match before saving it.
- **Faster, more flexible suppressions**: Suppressions reload faster, can start immediately, and the minimum start delay drops from 15 minutes to 1 minute. You can create and edit suppressions and see version history with edit time and user.
- **More suppression filters and display names**: You can filter suppressions by multiple rule IDs, applications and severities. Suppressions can have a display name, and "as soon as possible" start and end choices are kept for display.
- **A10 Defense Orchestrator support**: When you set up A10 DDoS mitigation, you can choose between the Direct-To-Thunder flow and the new A10 Defense Orchestrator flow. The orchestrator flow uses token-only authentication, and the choice is locked after you create the platform.
- **Richer interface context in alerts**: Alert triggers now include interface ID, provider and network boundary, so interface-based filtering works when a device is also specified.
- **Pagination for the device alert table**: The alerts table on the Device Details page now has pagination.

## Bug Fixes

- **Blank alert emails in Outlook for Mac**: Alert emails now render correctly in Outlook for Mac.
- **Device links in the alerting table**: Fixed broken device links for kevent alerts and for alerts with missing device names.
- **Report schedule errors**: Opening a report with a malformed URL no longer causes an error.
