Pausing an alert rule - Amazon Managed Grafana

Pausing an alert rule

This documentation topic discusses legacy alerting in Grafana. Legacy alerting is removed in Amazon Managed Grafana version 12. You must migrate to Grafana alerting before upgrading to v12. For more information, see one of the following topics.

For Grafana workspaces that support Grafana version 10.x, see Alerts in Grafana version 10.

For Grafana workspaces that support Grafana version 9.x, see Alerts in Grafana version 9.

For Grafana workspaces that support Grafana version 8.x, see Grafana alerting.

Pausing the evaluation of an alert rule can sometimes be useful. For example, during a maintenance window, pausing alert rules can avoid initiating a flood of alerts.

  1. In the Grafana side bar, pause on the Alerting (bell) icon and then choose Alert Rules. All configured alert rules are listed, along with their current state.

  2. Find your alert in the list, and choose the Pause icon on the right. The Pause icon turns into a Play icon.

  3. Choose the Play icon to resume evaluation of your alert.
