Alerting infrastructure is often complex, with many pieces of the pipeline that often live in different places. Scaling this across multiple teams and organizations is an especially challenging task. Grafana Alerting provisioning makes this process easier by enabling you to create, manage, and maintain your alerting data in a way that best suits your organization.

There are two options to choose from:

  1. Provision your alerting resources using the Alerting Provisioning HTTP API.

    Note

    Typically, you cannot edit API-provisioned alert rules from the Grafana UI.

    In order to enable editing, add the x-disable-provenance header to the following requests when creating or editing your alert rules in the API:

    POST /api/v1/provisioning/alert-rules
PUT /api/v1/provisioning/alert-rules/{UID}

  2. Provision your alerting resources using Terraform.

Note

Currently, provisioning for Grafana Alerting supports alert rules, contact points, mute timings, and templates. Provisioned alerting resources using file provisioning or Terraform can only be edited in the source that created them and not from within Grafana or any other source. For example, if you provision your alerting resources using files from disk, you cannot edit the data in Terraform or from within Grafana.
