 There are four common alert statuses:
 
 `active`

 `flapping`
 
 :   The alert is switching repeatedly between active and recovered states. If the rule has actions that run when the alert status changes states, those actions are suppressed while the alert is flapping.

-Alert flapping is turned on by default. To modify the conditions for changing an alert's status to the flapping state, configure the alert flapping settings.

     An active alert changes to recovered if the conditions for the rule that generated it are no longer met. 
 
-    A flapping alert changes to recovered if the conditions for the rule that generated it are no longer met, and the alert's status stabilizes before refufilling the criteria for the flapping state. For instance, say you specify that an alert must change its status at least 6 times in the last 10 runs for it to become a flapping alert. If a flapping alert only changes its status 5 times in the last 10 runs, and rule's conditions are not met during the fifth rule run, the alert's status changes to recovered.

-    After a flapping alert is recovered, the criteria for the flapping status is restarted when new alerts are generated.

+    Once a flapping alert is recovered, it cannot be changed to flapping again. Only new alerts with repeated status changes are candidates for the flapping status. 
 
 `untracked`
 :   The rule is disabled, or you’ve marked the alert as untracked. To mark the alert as untracked, go to the **Alerts** table, click the {icon}`boxes_horizontal` icon to expand the **More actions** menu, and click **Mark as untracked**. When an alert is marked as untracked, actions are no longer generated. You can choose to move active alerts to this state when you disable or delete rules.
