# Review rule execution history in Kibana Universal Alerting
Rule execution history gives you a cross-rule, filterable log of every Kibana Universal Alerting rule run in the space, so you can confirm rules are running on schedule or spot patterns that aren't visible when looking at individual rules, such as a cluster of failures at the same timestamp that points to a shared dependency issue.
Go to **Execution history** in the navigation menu or [global search](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/tree/main/explore-analyze/find-and-organize/find-apps-and-objects), then select the **Rules** tab, which lists the following for each rule evaluation:

| Column        | Description                                                                                                      |
|---------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| **Timestamp** | When the rule execution ran.                                                                                     |
| **Rule**      | The rule that ran. Selecting the rule name opens a summary so you can inspect the rule without leaving the page. |
| **Duration**  | How long the execution took.                                                                                     |
| **Response**  | The outcome of the run. Can be `success` or `failure`.                                                           |
| **Message**   | An optional message included with the execution result, typically an error description for failed runs.          |

Use the outcome filter to view only successful or failed executions. Filtering is applied server-side. Results are paginated up to 100 per page. You can page through up to 10,000 records.
