I’m interested in migrating from the legacy alerting system to unified alerting. According to the docs any version above 8.3 should do this automatically. I’m testing out an upgrade from 8.0.6 to 8.4.5.
Grafana comes up fine and I get no errors, all of my datasources and dashboards load however when I go to Alerting there are no rules, no contacts, no policies nothing is configured. If I go to view alerts in the old way under the panels on the dashboards there are no alerts there either.
There are some mentions of migrations in the log file but no errors. In particular this seems somewhat interesting:
logger=migrator t=2022-04-05T18:01:36.59+0000 lvl=info msg="alerts found to migrate" alerts=0
And when I go to access the alert rules in the UI I see this in the logs:
logger=context t=2022-04-05T18:23:35.37+0000 lvl=info msg="Request Completed" method=GET path=/api/ruler/15/api/v1/rules status=404 remote_addr=172.18.251.97 time_ms=77 size=36 referer=https://grafana.dev-mgmt-eastus.bentleyhosted.com/alerting/list
I have also added the following to our config:
[unified_alerting]
enabled = true
