# Configure alert rules
|
|
|
|
[Alert rules](ref:alert-rules) are the central component of your alerting system.
|
|
|
|
An alert rule consists of one or more queries and expressions that select the data you want to measure. It contains a condition to trigger the alert, an evaluation period that determines how often the rule is evaluated, and additional options to manage alert events and their notifications.
|
|
|
|
Grafana supports two types of alert rules:
|
|
|
|
1. **Grafana-managed alert rules** — the recommended option. They can query backend data sources—including Prometheus-based ones—and offer a [richer feature set](ref:comparison-ds-grafana-rules).
|
|
1. **Data source-managed alert rules** — supported for Prometheus-based data sources (such as Mimir, Loki, and Prometheus), with rules stored in the data source itself.
|
|
|
|
You can [convert and import data source-managed rules into Grafana-managed rules](ref:import-to-grafana-managed) to let Grafana Alerting manage them.
|
|
|
|
Both types of alert rules can be configured in Grafana using the **+ New alert rule** flow. For step-by-step instructions, refer to:
|
|
|
|
- [Configure Grafana-managed alert rules](ref:configure-grafana-alerts)
|
|
- [Configure data source-managed alert rules](ref:configure-ds-alerts)
|
|
|
|
In Grafana Alerting, you can also [configure recording rules](ref:recording-rules), which pre-compute queries and save the results as new time series metrics for use in other alert rules or dashboard queries.
