My Grafana version: 8.0.4 through Docker WSL 2 based engine running under Win 10. Docker version 3.4.0. Docker-Engine 20.10.7
-
I’d like to set up a sample alert using the Unified Alerting API 1.1.0, as documented here: Swagger Editor
-
What I have tried: I have set up an alert manually in the grafana UI, then downloaded every configuration setting I could (using GET in the API). Finally I have deleted my alert in the UI and tried to POST it back using the API. When posting, it did not work.
-
Using GET, I got information from “alertmanager/grafana/config/api/v1/alerts” and “ruler/grafana/api/v1/rules}” only. I have then deleted the alert from the server, and posted exactly what I have received back to “alertmanager/grafana/config/api/v1/alerts”. This first post worked. Then I tried to post back what I had received from “ruler/grafana/api/v1/rules”. This didn’t work and I got the following error:
404 Client Error: Not Found for url: http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/ruler/grafana/api/v1/rules. If I append a “/{Namespace}” to the request url, I get the following in the http response: b’{“message”:“folder not found”,“status”:“not-found”}’, text: ‘{“message”:“folder not found”,“status”:“not-found”}’, status: 404.
So, I guess I need to specify a new namespace somewhere else, or what? Maybe I need to “create” a namespace within the first POST request? -
I expected the second post worked. Why did it not?

The following is the json payload sent within the second post:

This is instead the payload sent within the first POST:

- Is it possible to have a completed worked example about how to create an alert from scratch using the API? Thank you.
