# Labels in Grafana Alerting
|
|
|
|
This topic explains why labels are a fundamental component of alerting.
|
|
|
|
- The complete set of labels for an alert is what uniquely identifies an alert within Grafana alerts.
|
|
- The Alertmanager uses labels to match alerts for [silences]({{< relref "../../silences/" >}}) and [alert groups]({{< relref "../../alert-groups/" >}}) in [notification policies]({{< relref "../../notifications/" >}}).
|
|
- The alerting UI shows labels for every alert instance generated during evaluation of that rule.
|
|
- Contact points can access labels to dynamically generate notifications that contain information specific to the alert that is resulting in a notification.
|
|
- You can add labels to an [alerting rule]({{< relref "../../alerting-rules/" >}}). Labels are manually configurable, use template functions, and can reference other labels. Labels added to an alerting rule take precedence in the event of a collision between labels (except in the case of [Grafana reserved labels](#grafana-reserved-labels)).

# Grafana reserved labels
|
|
|
|
> **Note:** Labels prefixed with `grafana_` are reserved by Grafana for special use. If a manually configured label is added beginning with `grafana_` it may be overwritten in case of collision.
|
|
> To stop the Grafana Alerting engine from adding a reserved label, you can disable it via the `disabled_labels` option in [unified_alerting.reserved_labels]({{< relref "../../../setup-grafana/configure-grafana/#unified_alertingreserved_labels" >}}) configuration.
|
|
|
|
Grafana reserved labels can be used in the same way as manually configured labels. The current list of available reserved labels are:
