Alert State History Dashboard

I’m using Grafana v10.1.1.

I’m trying to pull in alert history data into a dashboard as a visual timeline. Specifically I’m trying to use the state timeline feature.

The new features mention a capability very similar to what I am trying to achieve. However, I cannot find this display.

I have been unable to query the alert state history as a time series into the dashboard.
I’m trying to use the “ALERTS” metric.


When I use this metric it returns “Selected metric is a counter. Consider calculating rate of counter by adding rate().” So I add rate() and it returns “Data does not have a time field”.
