Contact Point Tab not visible in Alerting Settings

Grafana Alerting
1

Hello,

I am trying to create an alert for one of the dashboards. I am not able to send a notification as I am not able to create the contact point.
I am following this documentation : Add contact point | Grafana documentation
I am not able to get past the 2nd Step as the tab for Contact Point isn’t visible.

This is my view in the Alerting Settings.

Can you update to the latest version of Grafana? In the .ini file, you should remove the semi colon before the word “enabled”

[unified_alerting]
;enabled = true

Hi @grant2, updating grafana with unified alerting fixed it.

I can see all the options in alerting settings:

Hello @grant2
I found this article very useful and thank you for information.
I recently upgraded to Grafana 11.2 from 9.3 and I cannot see alerting tab.
Will removing semicolon before enabled in ini can help me.
