Can I access grafana's own database as source?

For example, alerts API is too poor. If all the alerts are stored in the db, maybe I can create custom queries for example to be able fetch alert qwith specific tags. Cause alerts has tags feature, but Alerts List plugin doesn’t support it (because /api/alerts/ doesnt support it).

Or maybe by writing plugin, I can somehow access internal db?

Tnx.

Hi @alex0fb7

I’m not sure I completely understand your question, but question:

are you using the next gen alerting system, which is available in Grafana 8?

Nope, we are using v7. Will check if v8 solves the alerts management better.

Tnx.
