How to list prometheus alerts in a dashboard in grafana?

I have a stack where I create alerts in Prometheus. These alerts are listed under Grafana > Alert > Alert Rules.

I wanted to create a dashboard where I could view the alerts in a simple way. Like normal and firing status.

Solution

  • You can query alert in firing or pending status with metric ALERTS.

    It will return metric of the following format:

    ALERTS{alertname="Watchdog", alertstate="firing", severity="warning"} 1

    But, as far as I know, you cannot query alerts in passive state.

    If you really want all alerts, you could get them from rules with the request to api/v1/rules?type=alert, but you'll need JSON plugin for this.
