Different Grafana Alert menus appearing after each page reload

Grafana Alerting
, ,
1

I am deploying Grafana from a Docker container.

When I navigate to the Alerting menu I see the following page:

image
image1252×961 41.1 KB

Note from the above image there are 6 menu items on this version of the page and no option to attach images.

When I restart my Docker containers, I encounter the following page:

image
image1738×846 46.2 KB

Note this time, a different version of the page is loaded, there are only two menu items and the option for attaching images is enabled.

What could be causing this?

I would like the second version of the page to be loaded each time as I need to attach images to my alerts.

Below is my YML file contents:

Hello :wave: and welcome to the forum, @juandupreez

The first image shows the new UI for Unified Alerting. The second image shows the UI for Legacy Alerting. Try adding some environmental variables to explicitly load one or the other. Note that this behavior can differ based on what alerting rules you have saved in your DB.

environment:
  GF_UNIFIED_ALERTING_ENABLED=FALSE 
  GF_ALERTING_ENABLED=TRUE

Also, Unified Alerting replaces legacy alerting, so you might want to consider migrating to the new system in the future :+1:
