Searching alerts by contact point

Grafana Alerting
1

I recently inherited some projects. There are number of alerts that notify my team, but our current team isn’t aware who made these alerts. We have been dealing with them in an ad-hoc manner, but we would like to identify them all.

How do I write the query to find these alerts? I have tried doing a search with the contact point name, with receiver:<contact point> but nothing comes up.

Ideally we get the right search, and then save the query page so that anyone in the team can click the link and see the up-to-date list of alerts that notify us.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I don’t think something like this is possible as notifications are mainly routed by notification policies (Grafana 8+ up to 10.3 it was the only way). What you could do is to go to notification policies page, there you can search by contact point. There should be some labels that match the policy and then search alerts by those labels (which should be doable with label: key=value syntax).

Edit: If you have access to the database, you can also find which user created (or at least last modified) the alert, so it might be a point to the person.
