How to configure alerting features and integrations Set up Alerting 107

Set up Alerting

Set up or upgrade your implementation of Grafana Alerting.

Note:

These are set-up instructions for Grafana Alerting Open Source.

To set up Grafana Alerting for Cloud, see [Set up Alerting for Cloud]({{< relref "../set-up/set-up-cloud" >}}).

Before you begin

  • Configure your [data sources]({{< relref "../../administration/data-source-management" >}})
  • Check which data sources are compatible with and supported by [Grafana Alerting]({{< relref "../fundamentals/data-source-alerting" >}})

Set up Alerting

To set up Alerting, you need to:

  1. Configure alert rules

    • Create Grafana-managed or Mimir/Loki-managed alert rules and recording rules
  2. Configure contact points

    • Check the default contact point and update the email address

    • [Optional] Add new contact points and integrations

  3. Configure notification policies

    • Check the default notification policy

    • [Optional] Add additional nested policies

    • [Optional] Add labels and label matchers to control alert routing

  4. [Optional] Integrate with Grafana OnCall

Advanced set up options

Grafana Alerting supports many additional configuration options, from configuring external Alertmanagers to routing Grafana-managed alerts outside of Grafana, to defining your alerting setup as code.

The following topics provide you with advanced configuration options for Grafana Alerting.

  • [Provision alert rules using file provisioning]({{< relref "../set-up/provision-alerting-resources/file-provisioning" >}})
  • [Provision alert rules using Terraform]({{< relref "../set-up/provision-alerting-resources/terraform-provisioning" >}})
  • [Add an external Alertmanager]({{< relref "../set-up/configure-alertmanager" >}})
  • [Configure high availability]({{< relref "../set-up/configure-high-availability" >}})
