Alerts History Widget
Summary
The Alerts widget displays a historical list of alerts that have been triggered for one or more stacks. Additional details on individual alerts, such as the specific logic condition that triggered the alert, can be viewed by clicking the info (
) icon in each row. This provides a way to view alerts that are not set up to send real-time emails or text messages, and serves as a historical event log for your reference. For more info, see our tutorial on using alerts.

- Use alerts without recipients to create an informative historical log of events that don’t require real-time text or email notifications.
