How it works

  • Grafana alerting periodically queries data sources and evaluates the condition defined in the alert rule
  • If the condition is breached, an alert instance fires
  • Firing instances are routed to notification policies based on matching labels
  • Notifications are sent out to the contact points specified in the notification policy

Get started

  • Create an alert rule to query a data source and evaluate the condition defined in the alert rule
  • Route alert notifications either directly to a contact point or through notification policies for more flexibility
  • Monitor your alert rules using dashboards and visualizations
