Alerts Dashboard Widget: Frequently Asked Questions
Below are answers to common questions about the devActivity Alerts Dashboard Widget, designed to help you quickly understand its functionality and benefits.
What information does the Alerts Dashboard Widget display?
The widget displays a visual overview of alert activity, specifically showing the number of 'Opened' (newly triggered) and 'Resolved' alerts over a selected time period using a bar chart.
How can I see how many alerts were opened this month?
The bar chart on the Alerts widget shows monthly intervals on the X-axis. You can look at the pink bar corresponding to the current month to see the count of 'Opened' alerts for that period.
How can I track the number of alerts resolved last quarter?
You can adjust the time period selector within the widget to encompass the last quarter. The blue bars for each month within that quarter will show the resolved alert counts, which you can then sum up.
What is the trend of open vs. resolved alerts over time?
The widget's bar chart visually represents this trend. By comparing the heights of the pink ('Opened') and blue ('Resolved') bars across months, you can quickly identify if resolution rates are keeping pace with new alerts or if there's a backlog forming.
Does the widget help assess our team's effectiveness in managing triggered alerts?
Yes, by providing a clear visual comparison of opened versus resolved alerts over time, the widget helps you gauge your team's responsiveness and efficiency in resolving issues, thus assessing overall alert management effectiveness.
Which periods experienced the highest alert activity?
You can identify periods of highest alert activity by observing the tallest pink ('Opened') bars on the chart. This indicates when the most new alerts were triggered.
Is the AI insights feature available to all users?
No, the AI-driven insights feature, which provides deeper analysis of alert patterns and root causes, is exclusively available to premium devActivity users.
