Grafana has introduced a new history feature in Grafana Alerting, available in Grafana 11.2, aimed at enhancing root cause analysis by providing a comprehensive timeline of all state transitions for Grafana-managed alert rules. This feature allows users to track when specific alert instances began or stopped firing, aiding in system stability and outage prevention. The "History" page, accessible via the Grafana main menu, includes filters, an events chart, and an events table to help narrow down and analyze historical events based on labels or states. By displaying the frequency and timing of alert state changes, users can easily identify patterns and diagnose issues more effectively, improving incident response strategies. The feature is beneficial for DevOps engineers, system administrators, and SRE team members, and is available to all Grafana Cloud users, with additional resources and documentation provided for further learning and integration into alert management practices.
