The interval string is a possibly signed sequence of decimal numbers, followed by a unit suffix (ms, s, m, h, d), e.g. 30s or 1m.
### execute_alerts
Enable or disable alerting rule execution. Default is `true`. The alerting UI remains visible. This option has a [legacy version in the alerting section]({{< relref "#execute_alerts-1">}}) that takes precedence.
### evaluation_timeout
Sets the alert evaluation timeout when fetching data from the datasource. Default value is `30s`. This option has a [legacy version in the alerting section]({{< relref "#evaluation_timeout_seconds">}}) that takes precedence.
The timeout string is a possibly signed sequence of decimal numbers, followed by a unit suffix (ms, s, m, h, d), e.g. 30s or 1m.
### max_attempts
Sets a maximum limit on attempts to sending alert notifications. Default value is `3`. If it's `3` (the default) then the [respective legacy option]({{< relref "#max_attempts-1">}}) is applied
### min_interval
Sets the minimum interval to enforce between rule evaluations. Default value is `10s` which equals the scheduler interval. Rules will be adjusted if they are less than this value or if they are not multiple of the scheduler interval (10s). Higher values can help with resource management as we'll schedule fewer evaluations over time. This option has [a legacy version in the alerting section]({{< relref "#min_interval_seconds">}}) that takes precedence.

> **Note.** This setting has precedence over each individual rule frequency. If a rule frequency is lower than this value, then this value is enforced.
