A graphical user interface (GUI) for designing and monitoring an industrial automation system presents an alert based on a condition of an object corresponding to a respective industrial automation device displayed on the GUI. The GUI generates one or more suggestions for resolving the alert, including referencing a historical data set, parsing the historical data set to identify one or more previous instances in which the condition of the object occurred and was successfully resolved, and identifying one or more respective remedial actions taken in each of the one or more identified previous instances to resolve the condition. The GUI presents the one or more remedial actions as the one or more suggestions for resolving the alert, receives an input selecting one of the one or more remedial actions, and implements the selected remedial action.
