The Alerts page

The Alerts page

Alerts (left nav) is mission control for everything firing or configured. It is organized into tabs: the live Alerts feed, your Rules, Silences, and SLOs. Filters and statistics sit across the top.

The live alerts feed

• Each alert shows its severity, the affected application/source, when it started, and its state.
• Use filters (severity, source, status, time) to focus; statistics summarize volume and noisy sources.
• Act on an alert: Acknowledge (you're on it), Resolve, or open it for full context and links to traces/dashboards.

Cookbook: triage the board

1. Filter to severity = critical and status = unacked.
2. Open the top alert; read its context and jump to the linked service/trace.
3. Acknowledge so teammates know it's owned; Resolve when fixed.
4. If it's expected (a deploy), create a short silence instead (see Silences).
