Trigger "Pending" state if no data or all values are null

Hi,

due to a backup being run on one of our monitored machines, Grafana receives “No-Data” for one minute at a certain time every night.

Our normal alert is set to a 3m pending state. As far is know, “No-Data” alerts however will be send directly, without switching to pending state first.

If we switch “if no data or all values are null” to “Alerting”, will it also fire directly or go to pending first? Is there a way to set a “Pending” timeframe for “No-Data” alerts?

Thanks a lot and have a great day!
Simon
