Recovery thresholds for alerts

Grafana Cloud Generally Available Open source Enterprise Generally Available Alerting
Release date: 2024-01-06

To reduce the noise of flapping alerts, you can set a recovery threshold different to the alert threshold.

Flapping alerts occur when a metric hovers around the alert threshold condition and may lead to frequent state changes, resulting in too many notifications being generated.


Loki data source improvements: "or" filter syntax, filter by label types, derived fields by labels

Grafana Cloud Generally Available Open source Enterprise Generally Available Data sources Logs
Release date: 2024-01-05

Introducing several improvements to the Loki data source.

Line filter “or” syntax

Loki’s line filter syntax is great to find specific substrings of your log lines. If users want to find multiple different substrings it was cumbersome to use the regex =~ operator. With this change it is possible to chain multiple strings with the existing filter operators.

Derived fields based on labels
