Legacy Grafana alerts
Out of the box, Grafana still supports legacy dashboard alerts. If you are using version 8.0 or later, you can [opt-in]({{< relref "../unified-alerting/opt-in.md" >}}) to use Grafana 8 alerts. See [What's New with Grafana 8 alerting]({{< relref "../unified-alerting/difference-old-new.md" >}}) for more information.
Legacy alerts have two main components:
- Alert rule - When the alert is triggered. Alert rules are defined by one or more conditions that are regularly evaluated by Grafana.
- Notification channel - How the alert is delivered. When the conditions of an alert rule are met, the Grafana notifies the channels configured for that alert.
Alert tasks
You can perform the following tasks for alerts:
- [Create an alert rule]({{< relref "create-alerts.md" >}})
- [View existing alert rules and their current state]({{< relref "view-alerts.md" >}})
- [Test alert rules and troubleshoot]({{< relref "troubleshoot-alerts.md" >}})
- [Add or edit an alert contact point]({{< relref "notifications.md" >}})
