# Alert panels
To view alerts in a dashboard, add **Alerts** panels that show selected alerts. Each panel can display either **Observability** or **Security** alerts with the rule tags and rule types that you select.

## Create an alerts panel

1. From your dashboard, select **Add panel**.
2. In the **Add panel** flyout, select **Alerts**. The configuration flyout appears.
3. (Elastic Stack deployments only) Under **Solution**, select either **Observability** or **Security** to specify the type of alerts you want to display.
4. Under **Filter by** select either **Rule tags** or **Rule types**.
5. (Optional) To use both types of filters, first define one filter, then use the boolean **+ OR** or **+ AND** options that appear to define the second filter.
6. Click **Save**. Your panel appears on the dashboard.

## Take action on alerts

There are several actions you can take on alerts in the alerts panel. Under **Actions**, click the three dots next to an alert to open a menu with the following options:
- **View rule details**: Open the details page for the rule that created the alert.
- **View alert details**: Open the alert details flyout.
- (**Active** rules only) **Mark as untracked**: Change the alert's status from **Active** to **Untracked**.
- (**Active** rules only) **Mute**: Mute alerts from the associated rule.


## Edit an alerts panel

To edit an existing alerts panel, hover over the panel. Three buttons appear:
- **Edit** `pencil`: Update which alerts appear in the panel.
- **Settings** `gear`: Update the panel's title or description, or add a custom time range.
- **More actions** `boxes_vertical`: Duplicate, maximize, copy to another dashboard, or remove the panel.
