Hi there,

As I understand, there are 3 kinds of `Last response` for rules - Succeeded, Warning, and Failure.

I would like to filter rules according to just these 3 statuses. It appears that there is currently no way of doing so, based on what I have seen at both the `Rules` and `Rule Monitoring` page (both of which contain the same `Last response` field). The Up/Down arrow button does not appear when I hover my cursor over the column name (unlike the 3 columns which have this feature - `Rule`, `Last updated` and `Activated`).

The reason why I would like to do so, is because there are some rules which rely on some Beats which I am not using. These rules happen to have the `Warning` status. Thus, I would like to quickly filter for these rules with `Warning` status, then deactivate them in one fell swoop.

In summary, I am looking to:

- Either: Filtering rules according to the `Last response` field
- Or: A way to filter rules based on its data sources

Having both would be awesome in the long-run I suppose, but my immediate need is for the latter.

(P.S. My apologies in advance if this is due to a knowledge gap on my part, rather than an unimplemented feature.)

Thank you for your time!

Hi @inf - You are correct, there is no way currently to actually sort the `Last Response` field. Would the rules you're looking to filter out have specific `tags` you can use to filter them?

Hello! Thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately, these rules do not have common `tags`.

Nonetheless, I greatly appreciate your time in replying! Have a great week ahead. 🙂
