# Grafana alerts
|
|
|
|
Alerts allow you to know about problems in your systems moments after they occur. Robust and actionable alerts help you identify and resolve issues quickly, minimizing disruption to your services.
|
|
|
|
Grafana 8.0 has new and improved alerts. The new alerting system are an [opt-in]({{< relref "./unified-alerting/opt-in.md" >}}) feature that centralizes alerting information for Grafana managed alerts and alerts from Prometheus-compatible data sources in one UI and API.
|
|
|
|
Alerts have four main components:
|
|
|
|
- Alerting rule - One or more query and/or expression, a condition, the frequency of evaluation, and the (optional) duration that a condition must be met before creating an alert.
|
|
- Contact point - A channel for sending notifications when the conditions of an alerting rule are met.
|
|
- Notification policy - A set of matching and grouping criteria used to determine where, and how frequently, to send notifications.
|
|
- Silences - Date and matching criteria used to silence notifications.
|
|
|
|
You can create and edit alerting rules for Grafana managed alerts, Cortex alerts, and Loki alerts as well as see alerting information from prometheus-compatible data sources in a single, searchable view. For more information, on how to create and edit alerts and notifications, refer to [Overview of Grafana 8.0 alerts]({{< relref "../alerting/unified-alerting/_index.md" >}}).
|
|
|
|
As part of the new alert changes, we have introduced a new data source, Alertmanager, which includes built-in support for Prometheus Alertmanager. It is presently in alpha and it not accessible unless alpha plugins are enabled in Grafana settings. For more information, refer to [Alertmanager data source]({{< relref "../datasources/alertmanager.md" >}}).
|
|
|
|
> **Note:** Out of the box, Grafana still supports old Grafana alerts. They are legacy alerts at this time, and will be deprecated in a future release. For more information, refer to [Legacy Grafana alerts]({{< relref "./old-alerting/_index.md" >}}).
