What’s new in Grafana alerting

You can now create alerts that give you system-wide visibility with a single alerting rule. Generate multiple alert instances from a single alert rule. For example, you can create a rule to monitor the disk usage of multiple mount points on a single host. The evaluation engine returns multiple time series from a single query, with each time series identified by its label set.

Unlike legacy dashboard alerts, Grafana alerts allow you to create queries and expressions that combine data from multiple sources in unique ways. You can still link dashboards and panels to alerting rules using their ID and quickly troubleshoot the system under observation.

In Grafana alerting, you can manage Loki and Cortex alerting rules using the same UI and API as your Grafana managed alerts.

Alerts for Prometheus compatible data sources are now listed under the Grafana alerts section. You can search for labels across multiple data sources to quickly find relevant alerts.

• name of the alert rule the special alert belongs to.
• will have the UID of the data source that caused the state.

You can handle these alerts the same way as regular alerts by adding a silence, route to a contact point, and so on.
