Alert groups show grouped alerts from an Alertmanager instance. By default, alert rules are grouped by the label keys for the root policy in notification policies. Grouping common alert rules into a single alert group prevents duplicate alert rules from being fired.
You can view alert groups and also filter for alert rules that match specific criteria.
To view alert groups
-
In the Grafana menu, click the Alerting (bell) icon to open the Alerting page listing existing alerts.
-
Click Alert groups to open the page listing existing groups.
-
From the Alertmanager dropdown, select an external Alertmanager as your data source.
-
From custom group by dropdown, select a combination of labels to view a grouping other than the default. This is useful for debugging and verifying your grouping of notification policies.
If an alert does not contain labels specified either in the grouping of the
root policy or the custom grouping, then the alert is added to a catch all group
with a header of No grouping.
To filter by label
-
In Search, enter an existing label to view alerts matching the label.
For example,
environment=production,region=~US|EU,severity!=warning.
To filter by state
-
In States, select from Active, Suppressed, or Unprocessed states to view alerts matching your selected state. All other alerts are hidden.
