The Activity tab provides a live feed of every rule match in your project. When a rule’s conditions are met by a trace, a new entry appears in the activity stream — giving you immediate visibility into what’s firing and why.

Viewing Activity

Navigate to Automations and select the Activity tab. Activity navigation Each activity entry shows:
FieldDescription
Rule NameWhich rule was triggered
Match ReasonWhy the rule fired (the condition that matched)
TimeWhen the match occurred (shown as relative time, e.g., “5m ago”)
TraceLink to the trace that triggered the rule

Live Updates

The activity feed updates in real time via a streaming connection. A Live indicator badge in the header confirms the stream is active. New matches appear at the top of the list with a New badge and are highlighted briefly to draw your attention.

Read / Unread Status

Activity entries are marked as unread (indicated by a blue dot) until you’ve seen them. This helps you quickly identify what’s new since your last visit.
  • Mark all read — click the Mark all read button at the top of the activity list to clear all unread indicators
  • Read status is persisted in your browser so it survives page refreshes
Click any activity entry to navigate directly to the trace that triggered the rule. This lets you quickly inspect the full trace details, events, and attributes to understand what happened.

Understanding Match Reasons

The match reason column explains exactly which part of your rule’s conditions were satisfied. This is especially useful when rules have complex conditions with multiple clauses — the match reason tells you which specific condition triggered the alert. For example, if your rule checks for failed bridge transfers on ethereum, the match reason might show:
trace.tags contains "bridge" AND trace.attributes["status"] == "failed" AND trace.attributes["chain"] == "ethereum"

Tips

The activity feed shows the most recent 50 matches. For historical analysis beyond the live feed, use the trace list with filters to find past matches.
If the Live indicator is not showing, the streaming connection may have disconnected. The feed automatically reconnects — refresh the page if it doesn’t recover within a few seconds.
