:Ingest Grafana alerts into Log Service (Grafana 8.0 and later)

Configure Grafana

1. Log on to the Grafana console.
2. Create a contact point.
   1. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Alerting > Contact points, and then click New contact point.
   2. On the Create contact point page, configure the following parameters.

      Parameter	Description
      Name	The name of the contact point.
      Contact point type	The type of the contact point. Select webhook.
      Url	The URL of the contact point. In this example, enter the full URL of the webhook URL that is generated after you create an alert ingestion service and an alert ingestion application in the alert ingestion system of Log Service. For more information, see Obtain webhook URLs.

   3. Click Save contact point.
3. Add the contact point to a notification policy.
   You can add the contact point to the root notification policy, or create a route and add the contact point to the route. In this example, add the contact point to the root notification policy.
   1. Click Notification policies.
   2. In the Root policy - default for all alerts section, click Edit.
   3. From the Default contact point list, select the contact point that you created in step 2.
   4. Click Save.

Grafana alerts

The following sample code provides an example of a Grafana alert:

{
    "receiver": "http",
    "status": "firing",
    "alerts":
    [
        {
            "status": "firing",
            "labels":
            {
                "alertname": "test"
            },
            "annotations":
            {
                "description": "test alert",
            },

Field mappings

After a Grafana alert is ingested into Log Service, the alert is converted to a Log Service alert based on field mappings. The following sample code provides an example of a Log Service alert:

{
    "aliuid": "{The ID of the Alibaba Cloud account to which the alert ingestion application belongs}",
    "alert_instance_id": "{The alert instance ID that is automatically generated}",
    "alert_id": "test",
    "alert_type": "sls_pub",
    "alert_name": "test",
    "region": "{The region of the project to which Alert Center belongs}",
    "project": "{The project to which Alert Center belongs}",
    "project_id": 0,
    "next_eval_interval": 0,
    "alert_time": 1645607565,
    "fire_time": 1645105447,
    "fire_results": null,
    "fire_results_count": 0,
    "resolve_time": 0,
    "status": "firing",
    "results": null,
    "labels":
    {},
    "annotations":
    {
        "__config_app__": "sls_pub_alert",
        "__pub_alert_app__": "{The ID of the alert ingestion application}",
        "__pub_alert_protocol__": "grafana8",
        "__pub_alert_region__": "{The region of the endpoint to which the alert is sent}",
        "__pub_alert_service__": "{The ID of the alert ingestion service}",
        "desc": "test alert",
        "fingerprint": "65d7bbdb01ce6c93",
        "silenceURL": "http://localhost:3000/alerting/silence/new?alertmanager=grafana&matchers=alertname%3Dtest",
        "valueString": "[ metric='go_threads{instance=\"prometheus\", job=\"prometheus\"}' labels={__name__=go_threads, instance=prometheus, job=prometheus} value=15 ]"
    },
    "severity": 6,
    "policy":
    {
        "alert_policy_id": "{The alert policy that is specified for the alert ingestion application}",
        "action_policy_id": "{The action policy that is specified for the alert ingestion application}",
        "use_default": false,
        "repeat_interval": "{The repeat interval that is specified for the alert ingestion application}"
    },
    "template": null,
