Alerts table

Route: /dash · /dash/external

The alert table is the core of the dashboard: sortable columns, row selection, notes indicator, pagination, and toolbar controls for filters, columns, and external view.

Row interactions

Action	Result
Single click	Selects the row (for bulk actions)
Ctrl+click	Toggles row selection (multi-select)
Shift+click	Selects a range of rows
Double-click	Opens the alert details drawer
Right-click	Opens the context menu

Row background color follows severity. Newly arrived alerts may blink briefly after refresh. Alerts on your watch list show an eye icon on the Status column.

Table columns

Default columns include (among others):

Column	Description
Severity	Current severity (required column)
Status	Open, Acknowledged, Shelved, Closed, …
Environment	Deployment environment
Resource	Affected component — click to open details
Event	Event type
Service	Related services (array)
Tags	Alert tags
Last Update	Last modification time (default sort, descending)
Timeout	Countdown until auto-resolve (when set)
Trend indication	Icon for more/less severe, flapping, stabilized
Source	Alert source icon

Date columns respect your date/time format and optional relative dates from Settings. Severity and Status render as tags; Tags and Service as tag lists.

Notes column

A sticky-note icon appears in the Note column when an alert has notes. Hover for the note count. Add and review notes in the alert details drawer.

Empty states

• No alerts in view — message when the view has zero alerts.
• All filtered out — message with Reset all filters when filters exclude every row.

Column manager

Open Column manager (columns icon) on the table toolbar to show, hide, or reorder columns. For shared table behavior (sorting, pagination, row selection), see List tables and bulk actions.

On the dashboard, click Save in the column manager drawer to persist visible columns.

Custom attribute columns

In Column manager, scroll to Custom attribute columns:

1. Select or type an attribute name from existing alerts.
2. Click + to add a column — shown with a star icon and the attribute key.
3. Save the column layout.

Disabling and saving removes a custom attribute column from the available list.

Column widths

Drag column header borders to resize. Unsaved width changes trigger the Changes detected banner on the view tabs — click Save changes to persist widths.

Severity and Last Update cannot be hidden.

Pagination

Below the table, use Rows per page and page controls — see List tables and bulk actions — Table layout. Click the page-size chip to open Settings (Alerts section). The current page is stored in the URL (page query parameter).

Table toolbar

Button	Description
Show filters / Hide filters	Toggles the sidebar filter panel
Open in external view	Opens /dash/external in a new window (full screen, no app chrome)
Column manager	Configure visible columns and custom attributes

When rows are selected, Bulk actions, Clear selection, and Invert selection appear — see Bulk actions and context menu.

External and compressed view

External view (/dash/external) is optimized for videowalls and second monitors:

• Hides the main app sidebar and top navigation
• Keeps the same view tab, filters, columns, and data as when you launched it

Compress view

On external view only, click Compress view to hide the TQL search bar and table toolbar, leaving maximum space for alert rows. Click again (Expand view) to restore controls.

Top toolbar (dashboard header)

Above the tab area (hidden in compressed external view):

Control	Description
TQL search	See Search (TQL)
Export	Export filtered (current view + filters) or Export all (ignore filters)
Refresh	Reload alerts immediately
Simulate	Admin only — see Simulate alerts

A thin progress bar at the top of the page indicates time until the next automatic refresh.

Best practices

1. Resize and save columns for your role — operators often widen Resource and Text.
2. Use custom attribute columns for fields your team checks on every alert (for example attributes.team).
3. Open external view on a wall monitor; use Compress view when only the table should be visible.
4. Double-click for details; use single-click + bulk actions when working many rows.
