Default alert rules from integrations

Most integrations come with default alert rules based on common failure conditions. You get useful alerting without writing rules yourself.

Find your alert rules

Locate the rules an integration created in three steps:

Go to Alerts & IRM > Alerting > Alert rules.
Find the integration’s alert rule namespace. Each integration’s rules are grouped under their own namespace.
Open a rule to see its condition and thresholds.

Notifications are a separate step

Default rules define when something is wrong, not who gets told. To receive notifications, set up contact points and notification policies in Alerts & IRM. That setup isn’t included with the integration. To learn how, refer to the Grafana Alerting documentation.

See what each integration includes

Each integration has a page in the integration reference documentation that lists the dashboards and alerts it provides. Check there to know what to expect before and after you install.

Dashboards show you what’s happening. Alert rules tell you when something needs attention, and most integrations come with a useful set already defined.

To find them, go to Alerts and IRM, then Alerting, then Alert rules. Each integration’s rules are grouped under their own namespace, so you can scan the rules that came with your integration.

Keep one thing in mind. Default rules define when something is wrong, but not who gets notified. To actually receive alerts, you set up contact points and notification policies separately.

To know what an integration includes before you install it, check its page in the integration reference, which lists the dashboards and alerts it provides.
