Viewing existing alert rules - Amazon Managed Grafana

Viewing existing alert rules

This documentation topic discusses legacy alerting in Grafana. This will not be supported in future versions of Amazon Managed Grafana. You can migrate to Grafana alerting to use the latest alerting features. For more information, see one of the following topics.

For Grafana workspaces that support Grafana version 10.x, see Alerts in Grafana version 10.

For Grafana workspaces that support Grafana version 9.x, see Alerts in Grafana version 9.

For Grafana workspaces that support Grafana version 8.x, see Grafana alerting.

Amazon Managed Grafana stores individual alert rules in the panels where they are defined, but you can also view a list of all existing alert rules and their current state.

In the Grafana side bar, pause on the Alerting (bell) icon, and then choose Alert Rules. All configured alert rules are listed, along with their current state.

While viewing alerts, you can do the following:

  • Filter alerts by name – Type an alert name in the Search alerts field.

  • Filter alerts by state – In States, select which alert states you want to see. All others will be hidden.

  • Pause or resume an alert – choose the Pause or Play icon next to the alert to pause or resume evaluation.

  • Access alert rule settings – Choose the alert name or the Edit alert rule (gear) icon. Amazon Managed Grafana opens the Alert tab of the panel where the alert rule is defined. This is helpful when an alert is firing, but you don’t know which panel it is defined in.
