Hi @IntExCZ ,

Thanks for the report.

This should be available/fixed in the next release.
It would be great if you could test the ghcr.io/netalertx/netalertx-dev Docker image in ~15 minutes (or once the latest GitHub Action finishes).

⚠️ Please back up everything first, or ideally spin up a separate container with its own DB and config (a copy of your current setup), as database changes may occur.

After updating:

• Click the 🔄 refresh button in the blue header at the top
• Hard refresh your browser cache (shift + reload) to force js and css files reload

If you find NetAlertX useful, consider sharing the app on forums or socials, at your work, or share a quick review on Reddit or elsewhere to help support the project.

Disclaimer: Running the dev container long-term may lead to data loss, as upgrade paths are not guaranteed.

Thanks in advance,
