Currently alerting supports a limited form of high availability. [Alert notifications]({{< relref "../alerting/old-alerting/notifications.md" >}}) are deduplicated when running multiple servers. This means all alerts are executed on every server but alert notifications are only sent once per alert. Grafana does not support load distribution between servers.
