# Handling Alerts

The [Alerts]({APP_HOST}/alerts) page is divided into two tabs:

- **Alerts** — the chronological feed of every notification that has been triggered.
- **Rules** — the list of configured alert rules that drive the monitoring.

## Browsing Triggered Alerts

Open [Alerts]({APP_HOST}/alerts) to see the feed. Each entry shows the matched content, the rule that produced it, and the time it was detected. You can:

- **Filter by rule** — use the rule drop-down at the top to narrow the feed to a single rule.
- **Search** — type in the search box to find alerts by text content.
- **Load more** — click **Load more alerts** at the bottom of the list to fetch older entries.
- **Analyze** — select one or more alerts and click **Analyze** to open an AI analysis dialog over the selected content.

## Listing Alert Rules

Switch to the **Rules** tab at [Alerts → Rules]({APP_HOST}/alerts/rules). Every rule is shown as a card displaying its name, type, frequency, and attached notification methods. If you have paused rules you can hide them with the **Hide paused rules** checkbox.

Click **Alerts** on a rule card to jump directly to the alerts feed filtered to that rule.

## Creating a New Rule

1. On either the [Alerts]({APP_HOST}/alerts) or [Alerts → Rules]({APP_HOST}/alerts/rules) page, click **New rule**.
2. Select the type of monitoring you want. See [Types of Monitorings](types-of-monitorings) for descriptions of every option.
3. Complete the type-specific configuration (data source, URL, keyword, etc.).
4. Set the **frequency** — how many hours should pass between checks.
5. Add one or more **notification methods** (e-mail address, phone number, Teams webhook, etc.). See [Notifications](notifications).
6. Optionally give the rule a display name.
7. Click **Create**.

The rule becomes active immediately and starts monitoring at the configured frequency.

## Editing a Rule

On the [Alerts → Rules]({APP_HOST}/alerts/rules) page, find the rule card and click **Edit**. The edit dialog lets you:

- Change the **frequency** — how often the rule checks for new content.
- Add, edit, or remove **notification methods** attached to the rule.

To change the rule's name, click **Rename** instead and enter the new name in the prompt.

## Pausing and Resuming a Rule

If you want to temporarily stop a rule from running without deleting it:

- Click the **Pause** button (⏸) on the rule card to suspend monitoring.
- Click the **Resume** button (▶) to restart it.

Paused rules are shown with a visual indicator on the card. Use the **Hide paused rules** checkbox to declutter the view when you have many rules.

## Deleting a Rule

On the [Alerts → Rules]({APP_HOST}/alerts/rules) page, click **Delete** on the rule card and confirm the prompt. Deleting a rule is permanent — all configuration for that rule is removed. The alerts previously generated by the rule remain in the feed.
