# State and Health of alerting rule
The concepts of state and health for alerting rules help you understand, at a glance, several key status indicators about your alerts. Alert state, alerting rule state, and alerting rule health are related, but they each convey subtly different information.

# Geomap
The Geomap panel visualization allows you to view ...
The Geomap panel visualization allows you to view and customize the world map using geospatial data. You can configure various overlay styles and map view settings to easily focus on the important location-based characteristics of the data.
{{< figure src="/static/img/docs/geomap-panel/geomap-example-8-1-0.png" max-width="1200px" caption="Geomap panel" >}}
## Base layer
The base layer loads in a blank world map from the tile server to the Grafana panel. Several base layer options are available each with specific configuration options to style the base map. The default base layer is CartoDB base map. Custom default base layers can be defined in the `.ini` configuration file.
![Base layer options](/static/img/docs/geomap-panel/geomap-baselayer-8-1-0.png)
### Configure the default base layer with provisioning
You can configure the default base map using config files with Grafana’s provisioning system. For more information on all the settings, refer to the [provisioning docs page]({{< relref "../../administration/provisioning.md" >}}).
Use the JSON configuration option `default_baselayer_config` to define the default base map. There are currently four base map options to choose from: `carto`, `esri-xyz`, `osm-standard`, `xyz`. Here are some provisioning examples for each base map option.
- **carto** loads the CartoDB tile server. You can choose from `auto`, `dark`, and `light` theme for the base map and can be set as shown below. The `showLabels` tag determines whether or not Grafana shows the Country details on top of the map. Here is an example:
```ini
geomap_default_baselayer = `{
"type": "carto",
"config": {
"theme": "auto",
"showLabels": true
}
}`
```
- **esri-xyz** loads the ESRI tile server. There are already multiple server instances implemented to show the various map styles: `world-imagery`, `world-physical`, `topo`, `usa-topo`, and `ocean`. The `custom` server option allows you to configure your own ArcGIS map server. Here are some examples:
```ini
geomap_default_baselayer = `{
"type": "esri-xyz",
"config": {
"server": "world-imagery"
}
}`
```
```ini
geomap_default_baselayer = `{
"type": "esri-xyz",
"config": {
"server": "custom",
"url": "[tile server url]",
"attribution": "[tile server attribution]"
}
}`
```
- **osm-standard** loads the OpenStreetMap tile server. There are no additional configurations needed and the `config` fields can be left blank. Here is an example:
```ini
default_baselayer_config = `{
"type": "osm-standard",
"config": {}
}`
```
- **xyz** loads a custom tile server defined by the user. Set a valid tile server `url`, with {z}/{x}/{y} for this option in order to properly load a default base map. Here is an example:
```ini
default_baselayer_config = `{
"type": "xyz",
"config": {
"attribution": "Open street map",
"url": "https://tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png"
}
}`
```
`enable_custom_baselayers` allows you to enable or disable custom open source base maps that are already implemented. The default is `true`.
## Data layer
The data layer in the Geomap plugin determines how you visualize geospatial data on top of the base map.
### Location
The Geomap panel needs a source of geographical data. This data comes from a database query, and there are four mapping options for your data.
- **Auto** automatically searches for location data. Use this option when your query is based on one of the following names for data fields.
- geohash: “geohash”
- latitude: “latitude”, “lat”
- longitude: “longitude”, “lng”, “lon”
- lookup: “lookup”
- **Coords** specifies that your query holds coordinate data. You will get prompted to select numeric data fields for latitude and longitude from your database query.
- **Geohash** specifies that your query holds geohash data. You will get prompted to select a string data field for the geohash from your database query.
- **Lookup** specifies that your query holds location name data that needs to be mapped to a value. You will get prompted to select the lookup field from your database query and a gazetteer. The gazetteer is the directory that is used to map your queried data to a geographical point.
### Markers layer
The markers layer allows you to display data points as different marker shapes such as circle, squares, triangles, stars, and more.
![Markers Layer](/static/img/docs/geomap-panel/geomap-markers-8-1-0.png)
![Markers Layer Options](/static/img/docs/geomap-panel/geomap-markers-options-8-1-0.png)
- **Marker Color** configures the color of the marker. The default `Fixed size` keeps all points a single color. There is an alternate option to have multiple colors depending on the data point values and the threshold set at the `Thresholds` section.
- **Marker Size** configures the size of the marker. Default is `Fixed size`, making all marker size the same regardless of the data points. However, there is also an option to scale the circles to the corresponding data points. `Min` and `Max` marker size has to be set such that the Marker layer can scale within these range.
- **Marker Shape** provides you with the flexibility to visualize the data points differently.
- Circle
- Square
- Triangle
- Star
- Cross
- X
- **Fill opacity** configures the transparency of each marker.
### Heatmap layer
The heatmap layer clusters various data points to visualize locations with different densities.
To add a heatmap layer:
Click on the drop down menu under Data Layer and choose `Heatmap`.
Similar to `Markers`, you are prompted with various options to determine which data points to visualize and how.

![Heatmap Layer Options](/static/img/docs/geomap-panel/geomap-heatmap-options-8-1-0.png)
- **Weight values** configures the intensity of the heatmap clusters. `Fixed value` keeps a constant weight value throughout all data points. This value should be in the range of 0~1. Similar to Markers, there is an alternate option in the drop down to automatically scale the weight values depending on data values.
- **Radius** configures the size of the heatmap clusters.
- **Blur** configures the amount of blur on each cluster.

### Time series panel updates
## Geomap panel
Time series panels have been updated with the ability to color series and line by thresholds or gradient color scales. This allows users to create time series panels where the line color can change dynamically based on thresholds or using gradient color scales.
Grafana 8.1 introduces the foundation for our new map panel. This new panel leverages [OpenLayers](https://openlayers.org/) and gives us a flexible solution for extending the way we use the new Geomap panel moving forward. The new Geomap panel includes multiple base layer styles (map layer options), as well as a more open data layer. The data layer can use coordinates and geo-hashed data in addition to a lookup table.
The Geomap panel is also able to share views across multiple Geomap panels on the same dashboard, making it straightforward to visualize and explore multiple types of geospatial data using the same map zoom and focus settings. For more information, refer to [Geomap panel]({{< relref "../panels/visualizations/geomap.md" >}}).
{{< figure src="/static/img/docs/geomap-panel/geomap_with_heatmap.png" max-width="850px" caption="Geomap panel: Heatmap" >}}
## Annotation panel
The new Annotations panel shows a list of available annotations you can use to create lists of annotated data available within your organization. Various options are available to filter the list based on the tags and on the current dashboard. This panel makes it easy to find and filter annotated data within and across multiple dashboards.
{{< figure src="/static/img/docs/annotations-panel/annolist.png" max-width="900px" caption="Annotations panel" >}}
Also, we have added possibility to create annotations directly from the panel. For more information, refer to ...
