Alert, Scheduled Search, and Scheduled Report Errors and Resolutions
Messages for alerts, scheduled searches, and scheduled reports are logged in the humio-activity repository.
When investigating errors to identify issues, make use of the message and suggestion fields to provide guidance on why an issue has occurred. The list below describes each message type.
Info: is informational and does not require action.
Warning: there is something to be aware of. In some cases, the warning resolves on its own. But if the message persists, it may require action.
Error: there is an error that requires action.
The table below lists the messages in the UI and corresponding suggestions to resolve issues. These appear in the humio-activity repository. For more information about troubleshooting messages, see Troubleshoot Alerts and Scheduled Searches.

Alert query took too long to start and the result are now too old. LogScale will stop the live query and start running historic queries to catch up. | AggregateAlert | Error | The alert query took too long to start, meaning that the results are now too old. The system will stop live queries and start running historic queries to catch up. | Edit the query, if possible, so it does not take too long to run. For information about editing queries, see Editing Alerts. For information about writing better queries, see ???. If the message persists after editing the query, contact LogScale Support. |
Running a historic query to catch up took too long and the result is now outside the retry limit. LogScale will skip this data and start a query for events within the retry limit. | AggregateAlert | Error | The historic query to catch up took too long to run and has reached the retry limit.

The alert is broken and will not run | AggregateAlert | Error | The alert configuration prevents the alert from running. | Edit the alert, check all fields and queries, and save it again. For more information about how to do this, see Editing Alerts. |
Could not start alert query since it is blocked | AggregateAlert | Error | The alert query cannot run since it is blocked. | Either rewrite the alert query so it is no longer blocked, or check with the system administrator and remove the query from the blocklist.
