On the alert rules list page, there is a Debug Log Switch that you can enable. Afterwards, the alert engine process monitedge will output detailed execution logs for that rule, making it easier to troubleshoot.monitedge outputs logs to standard output (stdout). The viewing method depends on the deployment method:
Deployment MethodView Logs Command
Dockerdocker logs <container_id>
Kuberneteskubectl logs <pod_name>
Linux (systemd)journalctl -u monitedge.service -f or check /var/log/messages
monitedge follows cloud-native best practices by outputting logs to standard output rather than writing to separate log files, making it convenient for log collection systems to collect, and facilitating rotation and compression.
Menu Entry: OverviewThe overview page provides a global view of alert rules, consisting of the following cards:
CardDescription
Alert rule total trendAn area chart showing how the total number of alert rules changes over time. The x-axis represents dates and the y-axis represents rule count, helping you track overall growth or reduction trends
Alert rules by channelA pie chart showing the distribution of alert rules across channels. The top 10 channels are displayed by default; the remainder are aggregated as “Others.” You can click to expand and view all details
System event listDisplays system events generated by the alert engine (such as engine disconnection, configuration anomalies, etc.), with pagination and delete support, helping you promptly discover and address infrastructure-level issues
The overview page checks whether you have installed an alert engine. If not, a prompt guides you to the alert engine page to complete installation.
On the alert rule edit or detail page, you can find the Clone action button. Clicking it creates a new rule based on the current rule’s configuration, with all settings copied over (except the name), making it easy to quickly create similar alert rules.
When creating or editing an alert rule, after configuring the query conditions, you can click the Query Preview button. The system immediately executes a query and displays the results, helping you verify whether the query expression is correct and whether the returned data meets expectations, without waiting for the next detection cycle.
The notes description supports Markdown format. You can use headings, lists, links, code blocks, and other Markdown syntax to organize content. It also supports variable references, embedding dynamic information such as alert event label values and query results into the notes, making it convenient for responders to quickly understand the alert context.
