Hello, yes it is possible, check this: [Alerting Provisioning HTTP API | Grafana documentation](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/developers/http_api/alerting_provisioning/) ---

Thanks for your reply 1. Is there no option to import/export by the gui? 2. Az I understand I can export all alerts to a file by for example: curl /api/v1/provisioning/alert-rules/export \> file How can I import the file? 3. For contact points and notification policies - I don’t see an option to export to a file How can I import the contact points and notification policies ---

Yes it is possible to export an alert to a file. It is possible to import an alert from a file. It is not possible to import several alerts in one go. It is not simple to provisioning with bash. It’s better to use Python or Terraform. Keep in mind that if an alert is provisioned, it can’t be modified via the UI. ---

I created a bash script to copy the alerts of one grafana instance to another. It’s very rough and I’m new to scripting, but here is a link if you want to check it out: [GitHub - danielkim4565/grafana-scripts](https://github.com/danielkim4565/grafana-scripts) Feel free to suggest improvements or ask for more details if you’re interested in this script! ---

For anyone looking to import and export alerting, there is a documentation stating how to achieve that. After exporting the rules using the Grafana web portal, you can easily import the alerting and contact point details by manually copying the **Yaml** file to the Grafana configuration folder. You can follow the details here: [Use configuration files to provision alerting resources | Grafana documentation](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/alerting/set-up/provision-alerting-resources/file-provisioning/)
