# Alert Logs

Alert Logs record alerts triggered by OmniFabric rules. The default retention period for alert logs is **one month**.

## Search alert logs

1. Open **OmniFabric > Alerting > Alert Logs**.
2. Enter a rule ID or rule expression in the search field when you need to find a specific rule.
3. Select a start time and end time to limit the search period.
4. Enable **Auto refresh** when you need the list to update automatically.
5. Review the matching rows in the table.

The table includes the **Alert Log ID**, **Alert Time**, and **Alert Rule ID**, together with additional details available in the current console. Open a record to inspect the trigger and use its alert time to compare the event with [Monitoring](https://omnifabric.cloudsigma.com/docs/guides/matrixone/monitoring.html.md) and [Events](https://omnifabric.cloudsigma.com/docs/guides/matrixone/events.html.md).

If the expected record does not appear, confirm that the rule was enabled, the selected time range includes the trigger time, and the record is still within the one-month retention period.
