Grafana Cloud Fundamentals Tutorial: Alerting #192

Open melgl opened 2 years ago

Great tutorial! I just went through this and noticed two pitfalls, listed below.

  1. Outdated instruction:

Under the section titled Add an Alert Rule to Grafana, step 3 instructs users to name the alert rule and alert group located in section 1. In Grafana Cloud v 9.2.1 this has been moved to section 3 for Grafana Managed Alerts:

grafana_managed_alert_section3

Section 1 is only the alert query and expressions now:

grafana_managed_alert_section1
  1. Impossible instruction:

Under the section titled Add an Alert Rule to Grafana, step 6 instructs users to enter 30s for the "Evaluate every" field, however this value cannot be set for less than 1 minute 0 seconds:

fundamentals_tutorial_alert_evaluation_timeframe

Thanks for creating this tutorial, everything else worked perfectly!
