Hi :grafana: users! Grafana 9 adds support for images to grafana alerts! This is a feature that legacy alerting had - but it’s new for unified grafana alerting. That said, we want to point out that if you’re migrating from legacy alerting - there are a few configuration steps to add images in new a…

Nice to hear (read) that it is possible. Unfortunetly I still can’t do it. I have Grafana and the renderer launched in a docker-compose.yml file and the option “[unified_alerting.screenshots]” does not appear in the grafana.ini file, so I cannot change it from enviornment variables of the docker-co…

@robone how are you building your docker image and what is the environment variable you’re trying to use?

@robone tried this out and was able to enable the flag with: docker run -d --name=grafana9 -p 3000:3000 -e "GF_UNIFIED_ALERTING_SCREENSHOTS_CAPTURE=true" grafana/grafana

Hi @melori.arellano . Sorry for the delay, I had holiday. I’ve tried your instruction (in a new container) but didn’t work either, basically I cannot find that “send capture” option. Should the option be at the “contact point” window?. Here is my docker-compose conf: #Renderer & alerts GF_RENDERIN…

Should appear any option to select for doing the snapshot in the alert?

@omarmx90 check this doc page: https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/alerting/migrating-alerts/migrating-legacy-alerts/ It states that: Unlike legacy dashboard alerts where images in notifications are enabled per contact point, images in notifications for Grafana Alerting must be enabled in the G…

@robone & @omarmx90 I was testing this and noticed this detail: Grafana does not support images for alert rules that are not associated with a panel. An alert rule is associated with a panel when it has both Dashboard UID and Panel ID annotations. For example, this alert is associated with a pan…

Well my objective is send images trough slack, but this still is not working, is there any example of implementation? Here is the ENV variables that I am using : GF_FEATURE_TOGGLES_ENABLE: dashboardPreviews serviceAccounts savedItems panelTitleSearch GF_EXTERNAL_IMAGE_STORAGE_PROVIDER: s3 GF_EXTE…

@omarmx90 the screenshots will be sent automatically to the supported contact points once they’re configured.

Double check that the port you are using for the renderer it is the one matching in your variables. It was an error of mine. (Both services deployed in Docker).
