To import recording rules, they [must be configured](ref:configure-recording-rules), and the `grafanaManagedRecordingRulesDatasources` [feature flag](/docs/grafana/latest/setup-grafana/configure-grafana/feature-toggles/) must be enabled.
To use the migration tool, you need the following [RBAC permissions](/docs/grafana/latest/administration/roles-and-permissions/access-control/):
- Alerting: Rules Writer
- Alerting: Set provisioning status
- Datasources: Reader
- Folders: Creator
- Folders: Creator
{{< admonition type="note" >}}
The Folders permission is optional and only necessary if you want to create new folders for your target namespace. If your account doesn't have permissions to view a namespace, the tool creates a new one. It is a best practice to prepare an import plan before you convert all your alert rules.

This section only applies to Grafana OSS and Grafana Enterprise.
Enable the feature by setting `enabled = true` in the `[recording_rules]` section of the Grafana configuration file. Provide the URL of your Prometheus-compatible remote-write endpoint in the `url` field, along with optional credentials or headers.
If a rule does not explicitly specify a target data source for writing (for example, if it was created before Grafana 12.1), Grafana will fall back to the `default_datasource_uid` set in the configuration:
```
[recording_rules]
enabled = true
url = http://my-example-prometheus.local:9090/api/prom/push
basic_auth_username = my-user
basic_auth_password = my-pass
[recording_rules.custom_headers]
X-My-Header = MyValue
```
### Per-rule data source
To choose the remote-write Prometheus data source individually for each recording rule, also enable the `grafanaManagedRecordingRulesDatasources` feature flag.
When this flag is on, Grafana does not use the `url` defined in the configuration file, and the rule editor shows a dropdown to select the target data source. If a rule does not specify a target, for example it was created before the flag was enabled, Grafana writes to the data source identified by `default_datasource_uid` in the Grafana configuration:
```
[recording_rules]
default_datasource_uid = my-uid
```
If you previously configured recording rules using the `url` and `basic_auth_*` configuration options, these are no longer supported. You must either:
- Set `default_datasource_uid` in the `[recording_rules]` section of the configuration file to point to the target data source
- Or, before upgrading to Grafana 12.1, enable the `grafanaManagedRecordingRulesDatasources` feature flag and update each recording rule individually to include a target data source
