When creating advanced alerts I often show my clients the underlying SQL from the Alert Management within the web console, by doing so we can check the alert logic using DB Manager to identify nodes which would match the trigger condition and catch any flaws in our logic before enabling the alert. It would be great to see a list of matching nodes somewhere when creating a new alert, either an additional tab in the advanced alert manager or perhaps in the Web console prior to enabling the alert without requiring the user to switch between applications and have a basic understanding of SQL.
