Alert fire strip
Each alert rule, how often it fired and if anyone acted.
Definition · Updated Nov 2, 2026
An alert fire strip gives each rule a row of its fires over a week, with the count and the share acted on. Noisy rules that nobody acts on stand out. Use it for alert hygiene and on-call reviews.
Pay once. Every update included.

One data object in the sample’s shape: fires per rule per day, and the share acted on. The docs page lists every field and links its JSON Schema; the sample data comes with the component, so you can start from it and swap in your own.
Series take the preset’s data colours in order, and states such as up, down or warning take its status colours. Change the preset in Figma or in code to recolour every chart at once.
XS, S, M and L, in light and dark. Each size is laid out again from the data, so text and lines keep their size.
Yes. It plays in when it scrolls into view, and when the data changes every mark moves from its old place to its new one. With reduced motion on, it does not move.
Yes. The Figma component comes with Figma and Complete, the React component with Code and Complete.
Ask for it by name. The MCP server tells the agent what data it needs and runs the same command: npx shadcn add @chartory/alert-fire-strip. You review the diff.
