The new Grafana alerts do absolutely nothing to help with this.

I'm at the point where I would pay 5 figures a year for something purely to do better alerting inside or alongside Grafana. Clicking alerts together is a nightmare when I have a ton of identical systems I need to configure. Same for dashboards - the limitations of the current mechanism are too severe.

I'd build my own templating mechanism for it, but I still want the alerts visible in Grafana itself. Zabbix has the power to do all this but with a UX that is not ideal....




Well, been down the Prometheus/Alertmanager path and it is pretty workable there.

You would get all the templating and grouping by labels.

Dashboards can showed Prometheus alerts through annotations on the graphs. So you get a visual feedback what was broken when.

Firing alerts are also a metric on Prometheus, so you can list those (or do other stuff with it).

It's not a UI thing though. More the lower layers to get stuff for Grafana.
