Steps Go to Alerts & IRM > Alert rules > New alert rule and enter a name (this becomes the alertname label on every fired alert instance) Define the query against your data source and add a Threshold condition, e.g. IS ABOVE 90, marked as the alert condition Select or create an evaluation group with an interval, and set a pending period the breach must persist before moving from Pending to Firing Configure No Data and Error handling: Set No Data/Error state, Set Alerting state, Set Normal state, or Keep last state Pick a Default contact point (email, Slack, webhook, PagerDuty, etc.) or route through notification policies in Advanced mode Save the rule and use Contact points > Test to verify the notification is delivered Known gotchas Grafana-managed alert rules only work against data sources whose plugin declares alerting support — not every data source plugin supports it Grafana Cloud Free plan caps at 500 alert rules; paid plans have a soft rule limit requiring a support ticket to raise Pausing a rule stops evaluation entirely, which differs from a mute timing that still evaluates but suppresses notifications
