Alerts-NG show hosts/servers

[nick124]

• What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?
  Grafana v8.0.6 (68fe9e3431) on RHEL8 and InfluxDB V2

• What are you trying to achieve?
  I would like an alert to fire and be able to see the hosts in a table that it’s alerting about

• How are you trying to achieve it?
  The following is my alert config.
  from(bucket:v.bucket)
  |> range(start:-1d)
  |> filter(fn:(r) =>
  r._measurement == “cpu” and
  r.cpu == “cpu-total” and
  r._field == “usage_idle”
  )
  |> aggregateWindow(every: 1m, fn: mean)

• What happened?
  When it alerts it’s only shows that it’s alerting without much more info

• What did you expect to happen?
  I would have expected a simple list of alerting devices

• Did you follow any online instructions? If so, what is the URL?
  I just use the flux query that I use for a graph

Thanks,
Nick L

Hi @nick124

Are you using the new Unified Alerting, which is still behind a feature toggle? Or are you using the legacy alerting system?

[nick124]

I have not enabled the new unified AFAIK. I can if that would be needed for it to function as intended.

[mattabrams]

Currently, and probably for the next few minor versions of Grafana, you must opt-in to Unified Alerting (ngalert)

[nick124]

Ok, then yes I have it enabled. I added the ngalert to the config file and restarted. I didn’t realize Unified alerting is ngalert (I thought this stood for NextGen Alerting).

yes, I hope the names coalesce into one single title soon…
