The Monitor > Alerts > Hardware Changes alert function will trigger when new hardware is discovered by an Audit. Hardware changes that will trigger this alert are those items listed on the Audit > Machine Summary > Hardware > PCI and Disk Hardware tab. SAN drives and mapped network drives are not collected as part of the hardware information in Audit. Therefore, the Hardware Changes alert will not fire when a SAN drive or newly mapped network drive is connected.
