Grafana 12 has introduced a new feature that enables users to easily import Prometheus-style alerts and recording rules into Grafana-managed alerts, simplifying the integration process without the need for rewriting existing configurations. This development was driven by the need to merge the robust monitoring capabilities of Prometheus with the advanced alerting features offered by Grafana, which now includes APIs compatible with tools like mimirtool or cortextool. The import process accounts for differences in how Prometheus and Grafana evaluate alerts by adding small mathematical expressions to maintain compatibility. Users can import alerts through the Grafana UI or API, specifying details like data source, target folders, and whether imported rules should be paused or active. This functionality not only preserves existing workflows but also allows users to leverage Grafana's enhanced alerting features, such as visualizations, RBAC, and error state management, making it particularly beneficial for organizations with extensive alert rule sets. Grafana Labs has already adopted this internally, using CI/CD pipelines to manage thousands of alerts efficiently, and invites others to explore the benefits of this integration using their comprehensive documentation and user-friendly platform.
