Create and link alert rules to panels
Grafana allows you to link an alert rule to a dashboard panel. This can help you:
- Inform alert responders about where to investigate and which data to examine.
- Visualize the alert state directly from dashboards.
An alert rule is linked to a panel by setting the dashboardUId and panelId annotations. Both annotations must be set together.
