Send notification when alert stops firing

Grafana Cloud
1

Hi,
I’ve been using Grafana Cloud for a week or two, and for the most part it’s working well. I’ve got alerts firing, sending notifications to slack, which is great.

What I’d like to do is send a notification when an alert stops firing. So for example, server1 has a high load average, so fires an alert, which sends me a notification. If that load average drops back to normal levels, I’d like to receive another notification that the alert is now no longer active.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.

The answer is to add the following line to the AlertManager config:

send_resolved: true

This sends a notification when the alert has been fixed.
