Grafana Alerting and Slack Notifications.
Preface.
Alerting in Grafana allows you to attach rules to your dashboard panels. When you save the dashboard Grafana will extract the alert rules into a separate alert rule storage and schedule them for evaluation. In this article, we will learn how to create alerts and send ше over Slack notifications. Let’s get to it!
Step 1. Environment.
You should have Grafana up and running. The complete manual is described in this article.
I will use CloudWatch as a data source for Grafana.
Step 2. Setup New Notification Channel
Login to Grafana with username and password, click on the “Bell” icon on the left sidebar, and select “Notification channels.”
Click on “Add Channel.” This will open a form for adding a new notification channel
Select Slack from “Type” as we want to send notifications over Slack.
