Grafana Alerting

What is Grafana Alerting?

Grafana Alerting allows you to alert on your metrics and logs, no matter where they are stored. Create, manage, and take action on your alerts in a single, consolidated view, and improve your team’s ability to identify and resolve issues quickly.

No blind spots in your architecture

Create alerts from any data source to ensure every part of your service, infrastructure, and product is monitored and alerted on — all using one observability pipeline.

Reduce alert fatigue

Hit the ground running with opinionated alerts from integrations, forecasts, outliers, synthetics, service level objectives (SLOs), and services.

Faster MTTR, no context switching needed

Build alerts next to your telemetry and incident management tools in Grafana Cloud in order to seamlessly transition from incident response to triage to resolution.

How Grafana Alerting works

Labels match alert instances to notification policies and silences and can be used to group your alerts by severity.
Notification policy is the set of rules for where, when, and how the alerts get routed. Notification policies have a tree structure, where each policy can also match specific alert labels.
Contact points define how your contacts are notified when an alert fires. We support a multitude of ChatOps tools to ensure the alerts come to your team — not the other way around.

Focus on alerts, not moving data

Create queries and expressions from multiple data sources — no matter where your data is stored — giving you the flexibility to combine your data in new and unique ways.
