There are a number of data sources that are compatible with Grafana Alerting. Each data source is supported by a plugin. Grafana alerting requires that data source plugins be backend plugins, in order to evaluate rules using the data source, because the evaluation engine runs on the backend. Plugins must also specify that they are compatible with Grafana alerting.
Data sources are added and updated over time. The following data sources are known to be compatible with Grafana alerting.
For more detailed information about data sources and data source plugins in Amazon Managed Grafana, see Connect to data sources.
