Hello,

Noticed this in v9.0.0

The active seems to be taking on two different colors.

Update:

It appears the green active is referring to the Rule status.  
The red active is referring to the Alert status.

I do still think perhaps a different name for Rule 's Active status should put in place to avoid confusion? Or a different color?
