What is the main function of the %triggerValue% system variable?

The %triggerValue% system variable primarily serves to denote what triggered a specific alert within the Tenable Security Center. This variable provides critical context and detail about the event or condition that led to the generation of the alert, allowing users to understand the specific circumstances under which it was created.

Knowing the trigger helps security professionals respond effectively to alerts by identifying the underlying issue that requires attention. This variable is essential for prioritizing responses and ensuring that they address the right risks or vulnerabilities, ultimately enhancing the security posture of an organization.

While other options touch on aspects related to alerts, they do not specifically define the narrative of what caused the alert to be generated. The identification of the alert type, displaying calculated risk levels, or showing the actions taken are related but distinct aspects that do not capture the essence of what %triggerValue% signifies within alert configurations.
