Description

Feature Request add UI ability to trigger an alert check.

For example, Ranger admin password check is critical showing out of sync but since the check is run only every 30 mins it would be nice to be able to instantly trigger the alert check after fixing the issue to test and clear it quicker rather than waiting half an hour. Running a Ranger service check doesn't seem to do this, it just runs the health check for the login page.

It appears this can be triggered via an API call to the alert definition with run_now=true so this simply needs be to exposed via the UI.
