Number of vulnerabilities that were recently created. The metric value is independent of any configured management zone (and thus global).

New muted security problems (global)

1.222+

Number of vulnerabilities that were recently muted. The metric value is independent of any configured management zone (and thus global).

Open security problems (split by management zone)

1.231+

Number of currently open vulnerabilities seen within the last minute. The metric value is split by management zone.

New open security problems (split by management zone)

1.231+

Number of vulnerabilities that were recently created. The metric value is split by management zone.

New resolved security problems (global)

1.222+

Number of vulnerabilities that were recently resolved. The metric value is independent of any configured management zone (and thus global).
