Add the Alerts in trouble card to your dashboard
The Alerts in trouble card lists the Grafana alert rules that fire, are in error or get no data, the oldest first, on My Dashboards.
Before you start
The Grafana integration is added: the card reads Grafana with its token. Your license covers Grafana (Premium): see What a license unlocks. Without it, Add a card says Grafana requires the Premium license, with a link Open the license.
➕ Add the card
-
In the left sidebar, click My Dashboards, then the tab of the dashboard you want.
-
Click Add a card, at the top of the page.
-
In Add a card, choose Source
grafana. Key shows Alerts in trouble, with the text Grafana alert rules that fire, are in error or get no data, the oldest first. -
Enter a Card Name, for example
Alerts, then click Add.
The card shows its name, then No alert in trouble when every rule is fine, with the sentence "No alert rule is firing, in error or without data for the components of the catalog (grafana/alert-label-selector annotation)."
What it lists
The alert rules designated by the grafana/alert-label-selector annotation of every component of the
catalog, whoever owns the component, and only the rules that fire, are in error or get no data. A
component without the annotation adds nothing. Two columns, Owner and Mine, say who owns the
component and whether it is yours (Mine or Others): to keep only your alerts, filter on Mine
and save the filter with the card, see
Keep only your rows.
A card with alerts in it was not checked on a live instance: no alert was firing.
