Data source-managed alerts deprecation

Prometheus and Loki data source-managed alerts are being deprecated in Grafana Cloud and can no longer be created in new stacks. Although the pre-provisioned data sources are being depreciated, users can still add their own data sources and can create data source-managed alerts in those data sources. New Grafana stacks now use Grafana-managed alerting (GMA) by default. Datasource-managed alerting (DMA) is not provisioned in new stacks. Existing stacks are not affected.

Cloud users can import DMA rules into GMA rules with the import tool. See the import data source-managed alerts to Grafana-managed alerts documentation for information on how to do this.
