The active alerts page provides a consolidated view of all currently firing alerts, helping you quickly understand the overall alert status of your system. You can filter and browse by severity, title, labels, and more.
The active alerts feature requires monit-edge version >= v0.64.0. Please ensure you have upgraded to this version or later. If you have not installed it yet, go to the alert engine management page to complete the deployment.

​
Viewing active alerts

Menu entry: Select a folder, then switch to the “Active Alerts” tab The active alerts list displays currently firing alerts in a table format. Default columns include:

​
Filtering and searching

The conditions bar at the top of the page helps you quickly locate the alerts you care about:
  • Alert rule: Filter by the rule that produced the alert (always visible; supports searching by rule name)
  • Severity: Filter by Critical, Warning, or Info
  • Title: Filter by the title of the alert event
  • Hash: Filter by the unique identifier hash of the alert
  • Job: Filter by the job label value
  • Instance: Filter by the instance label value
  • Extra labels: Filter by other additional labels
All filter conditions use an “AND” relationship — only alerts matching all conditions are displayed. Clicking a rule’s Triggered or Healthy status in the alert rules list switches you to the “Active Alerts” tab filtered by that rule (URL parameter active_alert_rule_id).

​
Customizing columns

Click the column configuration button in the upper-right corner of the list to:
  • Show/hide columns: Check or uncheck columns to control which ones are displayed
  • Reorder columns: Drag and drop to adjust the display order of columns
The system remembers your column display preferences and automatically applies them on your next visit.
When you add a label-type column, the corresponding label filter automatically appears in the conditions bar, making it easy to quickly filter by that label.

​
Viewing alert details

Every row in the list provides a View details entry (the eye icon at the end of the row) that opens the active alert detail drawer, organized into the following sections:
  • Alert overview: current status (active), severity, active duration, and notification count
  • Time information: first fired, last evaluated, last notified, and last updated
  • Rule & source: alert rule, check mode (Threshold / Data exists / No data), data source name, data source type, instance type, and query Ref
  • Current values: a snapshot of the query result values that triggered the alert
  • Alert dimensions: the alert’s deduplication dimensions
  • Event labels: the labels carried by the alert event
  • Alert annotations: the annotations carried by the alert event
  • Notes description: the rule’s notes description, if present
  • Diagnostic information (collapsed): alert hash, lifecycle ID, rule ID, data source ID, Edge cluster, Edge instance ID, and rule version
Labels and values are displayed as key=value and can be copied with a click, which is handy when troubleshooting.

​
Closing alerts

If certain active alerts no longer need attention (for example, the alert rule has been adjusted but old alerts have not yet automatically recovered), you can close them manually:
1

Select alerts

Check the alerts you want to close in the list. Multiple selection is supported.
2

Submit the close request

Click the Close selected active alerts button. After confirming, the selected alerts will be removed from the active alerts list.
Closing only removes the alert from the active alerts list. If the alert condition is still met, the alert will reappear the next time the alert engine runs its check.
