# Active alerts

> View all currently firing alerts to quickly understand your system's overall alert status

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.

<Note>
  The active alerts feature requires monit-edge version >= v0.36.0. Please ensure you have upgraded to this version or later. If you have not installed it yet, go to the [alert engine management](https://console.flashcat.cloud/monit/engine/list) page to complete the deployment.
</Note>

## 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:

| Column           | Description                                                 |
| ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Severity**     | The severity level of the alert: Critical, Warning, or Info |
| **Title**        | The title of the alert event                                |
| **Job**          | The job label value carried by the alert                    |
| **Instance**     | The instance label value carried by the alert               |
| **Last updated** | The most recent time this alert was updated                 |
| **Hash**         | The unique identifier hash of the alert                     |
| **Extra labels** | Other additional label information carried by the alert     |

## Filtering and searching

The conditions bar at the top of the page helps you quickly locate the alerts you care about:

* **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.

## 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.

<Tip>
  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.
</Tip>

## Deleting 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 manually delete them:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select alerts">
    Check the alerts you want to delete in the list. Multiple selection is supported.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm deletion">
    Click the batch delete button. After confirmation, the selected alerts will be removed from the active alerts list.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Deletion 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.
