I’ve returned to Grafana having not used since v7. In v9.4.7 (latest), alert threshold lines are no longer displayed on chart panels. They preview fine in the alert rule:
I’d like to be able to quickly visualise proximity to alerts in dashboards without having to edit & preview alerts. “Alert thresholds” are enabled in this panel:
I am afraid this feature belonged to the old graph panel which is now deprecated, and it is not available in the current time-series panel
As a workaround, you can manually create a threshold and give it the same limit that your alert rule has. It’s manual work and not ideal but I could not think of any other visual way to get a line in the panels.
Not very DRY Antonio. Grafana is a visualisation tool, and it’s no longer possible to see alerts in panels. Quite a major regression, no?
This along with the fact it’s now impossible to edit provisioned alerts nor export them (individually) into code, means from where I’m sitting, Unified Alerts are a step backwards. I can see people like me being stranded on v9.x (which still supports Legacy Alerts) for a long time - until Unified Alerts are equally gitops-friendly and observable.
i reached out internally and it turns out that there is actually a PR in place that will add threshold visualisations. so there is no need to edit an alert rule to view the thresholds.
