Alert Log detail column sub-optimal

On the alert log page, the unlabled "detail" column is very unintuitive.

From my viewpoint the problems are as follows:

  • It's wasteful. That's a lot of white space on a page
  • It's unclear what it is, or how it works.
    • The + doesn't appear until you mouse over it
    • For almost every row, clicking on the + does nothing since most checks have no alert data.
  • When additional data is displayed, it's displayed under the device column

My suggestion

  • remove the column completely
  • display the + next to the device name when there is only additional data to display, for all other rows, don't display it all.
