Which system variable represents the name of the alert?

The variable that represents the name of the alert is indeed %alertName%. This variable is specifically designed to hold the name associated with an alert within the Tenable Security Center environment, making it a crucial element for consistent identification and reporting on alerts.

Using this variable allows analysts and security professionals to programmatically reference the name of the alert in automation scripts or when configuring alert notifications, which aids in better tracking and management of security events.

In contrast, other options serve different purposes. For instance, %alertID% typically serves as a unique identifier for alerts, %triggerValue% usually refers to the specific value that caused the alert to trigger, and %calculatedValue% might represent a computed result based on data tied to the alert's conditions. Thus, understanding the specific role of each variable helps users effectively leverage Tenable's capabilities in monitoring and responding to security incidents.
