I probably overuse the alerts feature, and my alerts log gets large/long very fast. I'm wondering if there's a way to feed the file to a database for sorting but I don't see a file that is created. I see a log can be manually created, but I'm wondering if there's a way to access a file without the manual step.

There is no Alerts Log file.

Thank you. So is there no way to populate a list/database of recent alerts?

We could add the ability for the Alerts Log to be saved to a file. We will do that.

Wow, that's incredible!

How long would it take for you to include that capability?

THANKS!

Not sure. Allow a few weeks.

Just following up. I see the option on the General Settings General 4 tab to write alerts to a log file.


Where is this file located?

When the option to save the Alerts Log is selected, the Alerts Log file is saved in the Logs folder under the main Sierra Chart installation location. For example, with a typical installation, this would be located at C:\SierraChart\Logs and is named Alert Log[date time].log.
