Hello,
I have few question about mail alerting in grafana using TIG Stack. I want to simply replace Zabbix monitoring to Grafana. My environment is mainly Windows Server virtual machines. I am using dashboard “Telegraf & Influx Windows Host Overview” (LINK: Telegraf & Influx Windows Host Overview | Grafana Labs) and it works great, graphs are really beautifull but after starting using I wonder that there is some limitation about Alerting, e.g Template variables are not supported in alert queries". If I remove variables alert is working but there is not scalable.
What I have for now is dupplicated dashboard only for alerts. On every graph I need to manually add query and alert. It is really annoying when I need to add another virtual machine for alerting e.g CPU Usage (For example if I want to alerting C: and D: disks on 20 machines I need to manually add 20 queries for C: and 20 queries for D: and modify alert for 40 queries).
My question is how can I make it easier e.g like in Zabbix (template for linux/windows + triggers). Is that even possible or there is a limitation in Grafana?
