  • (Active rules only) Mark as untracked: Change the alert's status from Active to Untracked.
  • (Active rules only) Mute: Mute alerts from the associated rule.

To edit an existing alerts panel, hover over the panel. Three buttons appear:

  • Edit : Update which alerts appear in the panel.
  • Settings : Update the panel's title or description, or add a custom time range.
  • More actions : Duplicate, maximize, copy to another dashboard, or remove the panel.
