Error:"request handler error: Post "prometheus:9090": unsupported protocol scheme "prometheus""

Hey!
I am getting an error while testing an “alert”.
Everything is fine with the graph, I receive data from Prometheus, but the alert does not pass the test, the full output is below.
Perhaps someone can help me.

I am having the same issue, did you ever solve this @ivanadyuzhev?

Edit: I found the solution, there’s a bug in Grafana where if you do not start the URL for your data source with the protocol, e.g. http://, then your graphs will work but your alerts will not. So you just need to change your data source URL to http://prometheus:9090
