The Evolution of Grafana Alerting
summary
Timeline shows concrete moves: panel alerts in Grafana 4.0 (2016), notification dedup with SQL transactions arrives in 4.2, external Prometheus Alertmanager integration in 5.0, Unified Alerting ships beta in 8.0 and becomes default in 9.0, legacy alerting is removed in 11.0. New UI features include notification template previews, simplified routing and redesigned contact-point and rule overviews. Grafana extracts rule evaluation into separate binaries, builds a rules engine pool for horizontal scaling, and is testing this in Grafana Cloud with production rollouts slated in 2024.
