Work an alert

Open Monitor › Alerts to see what’s firing. Filter by Firing, Pending or Resolved, or by canister. Firing alerts also appear in your Inbox.

  1. Open the alert. Its chart shows the readings that made it fire, with the threshold drawn in.

  2. Check the facts. The condition, when it was last read, and which receivers were notified.

  3. Act. For a low-cycles alert, choose Top up to fund the canister now, or Set up automatic top-up so it doesn’t happen again. Open rule to change the condition.

Opening an alert or a top-up review sends nothing. A top-up uses the same review as anywhere else, and checks live balances before you confirm.

  • History: every time this alert fired and resolved.
  • Observation details: the canister, when it was read, and whether the reading was fresh.
  • Rule notifications: what the rule sent, and when.

An alert resolves only when fresh readings show the condition no longer holds. A canister that stops answering stays firing, marked as missing data, rather than looking fixed.

  • If Monitor is off, Alerts says so, with Open Overview to start it.
  • Refresh alerts reads the latest state. Alerts also update after each Monitor round.
  • An automatic top-up whose result is unclear is held, never retried on its own. Interrupted payments.
