I upgraded to version 6.2.4 and now noticing a strange issue. I have Grafana configured to include images when alerting for both email and Slack. If I send a test email the PNG shows up just fine.
However, when an actual alert is triggered it never shows the PNG in Slack now and the email version is blank.
Within my configuration I have set the following:
#################################### External Image Storage ##############
[external_image_storage]
# You can choose between (s3, webdav, gcs, azure_blob, local)
provider = local
In terms of rendering, I have not set anything…
[rendering]
# Options to configure external image rendering server like GitHub - grafana/grafana-image-renderer: A Grafana backend plugin that handles rendering of panels & dashboards to PNGs using headless browser (Chromium/Chrome)
;server_url =
;callback_url =
However, rending has been set this way since day 1 and it worked before v6.2.4 so I am not sure that is the cause.
I just was watching the log when one of the alerts fired.

I checked the C:\Grafana\public\img\attachments directory and it is empty yet it says it created the image file there.
Any ideas what would be causing this? It worked just fine before the upgrade.
Thanks!
