Create alert rules from panels

Create alert rules from time series panels. By doing so, you can reuse the queries in the panel and create alert rules based on them.

  1. Navigate to a dashboard in the Dashboards section.
  2. Hover over the top-right corner of a time series panel and click the panel menu icon.
  3. From the dropdown menu, select More… > New alert rule.

The New alert rule form opens where you can configure and create your alert rule based on the query used in the panel.

Note

Changes to the panel aren’t reflected on the linked alert rules. If you change a query, you have to update it in both the panel and the alert rule.

Alert rules are only supported in time series visualizations.

Give it a try using Grafana Play

With Grafana Play, you can explore and see how it works, learning from practical examples to accelerate your development. This feature can be seen on visualizations with linked alerts in Grafana.
