How to verify from the UI that alert has been sent

Grafana Alerting
1

Hi,
I am using Grafana 10.3.3

I have created one alert from the Grafana GUI using the label : severity = major

I have created one Webhook based contact point with the proper URL.

I have also created a notification policy and associated the alert with the contact point.

How do I check from the Grafana GUI …when the alert is fired , the notification is actually sent from Grafana ?

Please let me know.

Hi, you can either check logs for some message (I think it’s logged). Or you could look to the contact point page, under the name of your contact point there should be information about last delivery attempt and how much time it took. If the contact point wasn’t used, there should be “no delivery attempts” message or something like this

I have “test1” as the contact point …I could see the following in the Grafana Contact Page GUI

Last delivery attempt 43 minutes ago …took 3ms ..

Does it mean the Contact point is properly picked up by the Alert ? Also , my alert is getting fired every 5 minutes …Then why the delivery attempt shows 43 mins ago ?

Any log on the Grafana side I can check ..

Thanks,
Nilanjan

How do you know your alert is fired every 5 minutes?
There should be some logs on evaluating alert rule for sure and I think for sending too but I’m not sure.
