Build an alert with the Code mode

You just built an alert in Builder mode. Code mode follows the same rule flow. The difference is how you write the query: you type PromQL instead of picking the metric and operations from menus in the UI.

Start in Builder when you’re learning. Switch to Code when you need more control than Builder can express clearly.

Path

This Path walks you through writing the alert query in PromQL, then creating a silence to suppress notifications during maintenance.
