    }```

I am not well versed with this topic maybe we need to update our JSON dashboards can you please share a template for rules or advice on the solution.

Thanks

this was going to be an inevitable migration. Grafana 6 is quite old and in that time an entirely new alerting platform was built. It will attempt migrations but the system isn’t perfect
