# 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: These can query multiple data sources.
|
|
|
|
1. Data source-managed alert rules: These can only query Prometheus-based data sources and support horizontal scaling.
|
|
|
|
We recommend using Grafana-managed alert rules whenever possible, and opting for data source-managed alert rules when horizontal scaling is required. Refer to the [comparison table of alert rule types](ref:alert-types-comparison-table) for a more detailed overview.
|
|
|
|
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)
|
|
- [Create and link alert rules to panels](ref:templating-labels-annotations)
|
|
|
|
Alert rules can also query metrics generated by recording rules. To learn more, refer to:
