2.) Click on "Create Drift Concern":
A webpage with five tabs at the top displays the content from the tab marked Manage Drift Concerns. The blue button on the top right of the page reads Create Drift Concern. Below it is a table with the names of all created drift concerns and a toggle for each one.

Note: You can edit, disable, and enable drift concerns from this page. Concerns with the "gearbox" icon () are managed by OpsCompass; Concerns with a "solid colored circle" icon were created within your own OpsCompass tenant

3.) Fill in the fields to customize the drift concern:

1. Specify a Name to briefly describe the drift concern
2. Specify a severity level to aid with remediation/prioritization
3. Specify whether the concern applies to all changes, or only changes with user attribution
4. Select the team(s) you wish to notify for the specific drift concern:

On this page labeled Create Drift Concern, there is a text input for the name of the drift concern, and then below are check boxes selecting the security recommendation levels and compliance frameworks the drift concern will be associated with.

Hover your cursor over this logo to read a detailed explanation of that specific field

That's it! After clicking on "Create Concern" you will now have a customized Drift Concern used to alert the teams you have specified. Additionally, you can enable the Slack integration so your teams can be alerted of the configured changes at anytime, anywhere.

For more granular concerns, OpsCompass supports "Drift Configuration" (JSON schema) used to include or exclude specific resource types, and their supporting attributes and values, from being tracked within the Drift Concern.
