I already have some alert on Grafana. I want to statistic the alert frequency. And main alert info. I found a screenshot on Grafana Blog like below. How can I generate the dashboard like the screenshot. My grafana service wasn’t use Grafana cloud. Thanks. ![Snipaste_2024-09-03_13-31-41](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/grafana/original/3X/4/8/483fce43c9721f3d1ca71b020b4a88465000db3f.jpeg) Image URL: [Grafana alert state history: What's new and improved in Grafana 10](https://grafana.com/blog/2023/07/10/how-we-improved-grafanas-alert-state-history-to-provide-better-insights-into-your-alerting-data/) ---

Enable alert state history: > **[Configure alert state history | Grafana documentation](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/alerting/set-up/configure-alert-state-history/)** > > Configure alert state history to explore the behavior of your alert rules and then use LogQL on top of your alert history in Loki to generate metric `alert firing per minutes`. ---

I am a newer Grafana. Are there any more detailed tutorials? I didn’t understand the Loki and Grafana relationship. I can find alert history. How to use LogQL to query? ---

It is a good idea to check doc, when you are not familiar with terms, e. g. > **[LogQL: Log query language | Grafana Loki documentation](https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/query/)** > > Provides a reference topic for LogQL, Loki's query language for logs. ---
