Hi,

I want to add alarms in grafana dashboards. I am using SimpleJson Datasource. Is there any way to do this?  
I want to create whole dashboard as a Alarm Dashboard itself which get the data from SimpleJSON Datasource.

If any other method without SimpleJSON(Something else) is there, than that is also fine. Any suggestions??

Thanks,  
Mihit

Hi,

You cannot use alerting (which I think you referring to by alarms) with the SimpleJson Datasource. That’s not currently supported.
