Are you putting the ORDER BY in the SWQL or are you using the drop down when building out the widget?

I'm struggling to sort the Active Alerts widget by Time Active Descending. I want the newest alerts at the top. But no matter how I try it ends up out of order. I need to be able to ORDER BY but the Dashboard doesn't seem to work that way.

I'm sure there is. Add a filter for "Acknowledge = 'FALSE'" or something like that. Depends on which widget you want to change it how the actual SWQL would change.

This is brilliant! Curious if there's a way to lower counts based on acknowledge status?

I think all three widgets are failing. I popped one of them open and looked a bit more at the error and it is something with the select clause - I am poking around to see if anything jumps out at me. I am running 2020.2.5 in case that matters.

"message": "An error has occurred.",
"exceptionMessage": "RunQuery failed, check fault information.\nno viable alternative at input 'Node' in Select clause",
