When upgrading Grafana or planning alerting, decide between Unified and Legacy. This guide compares architecture, migration steps, and operational trade‑offs, then walks through a concrete migration example.
Architecture note on Grafana Unified Alerting: requirements, minimal production design, trust boundaries, operational checks, failure modes, and scale-triggered design changes.
Stop relying on manual UI edits for your Grafana dashboards. Learn how to use file-based provisioning to implement a version-controlled, code-first monitoring workflow.
Learn how Grafana Unified Alerting centralizes rule creation, notification policies, and silencing, with a step‑by‑step CPU usage example and practical verification steps.
Learn how to set up Grafana 10+ alerting with a Slack notification channel, from creating the channel to defining a rule, spotting common mistakes, and verifying the result.
Learn how to mount a ConfigMap of dashboard JSON files to Grafana's provisioning directory and keep dashboards in sync with version control.
Deploy Grafana with server-side proxy and file-based provisioning to keep credentials off the browser, enforce trust boundaries, and manage dashboards as code. Includes operational checks and failure modes.
Architecture note on Grafana's built-in alerting: minimal single-instance design, trust boundaries for rule evaluation and notification secrets, five operational metrics to monitor, four failure modes with symptoms, and concrete triggers for migrating to Mimir or Alertmanager.
Stop clicking through the Grafana UI for every data source and dashboard. Provision them from YAML files instead.
