Section 1 · Journey overview

Check whether this journey matches where you are, and which future journeys cover more advanced alerting.

Estimated time: 1 min

Is this journey right for you

This journey is a good fit if you:

  • Have a Grafana Cloud account. The journey uses the QuickPizza demo app (installed in the hands-on path), so no external data is required.
  • Want to learn how to set up automated alerts from scratch.
  • Are comfortable navigating the Grafana Cloud interface (menus, dashboards).
  • Prefer building queries visually (no PromQL or code required).

This journey might not be right if you

  • Already create and manage alert rules regularly (future journeys will cover advanced alert rules and templates).
  • Are an on-call responder looking to triage and resolve alerts (a future journey will cover alert response).
