How to send alerts from self-hosted Grafana to Grafana Cloud IRM

Learn how to send alerts from Grafana OSS or Grafana Enterprise to Grafana Cloud IRM. In this quick demo, we'll show you how to set up the integration between your self-hosted instance and our managed solution for consolidating, customizing, and automating incident response and management. Grafana Cloud is the easiest way to get started with Grafana dashboards, metrics, logs, and traces. Our forever-free tier includes access to 10k metrics, 50GB logs, 50GB traces and more.

Prometheus Alerting Examples for Developers

Everything looks fine—dashboards are green, logs are quiet. But users start reporting slow response times. No errors, no traffic spikes. Just a general slowdown. It’s a common situation. Not all problems show up as crashes or clear failures. Sometimes, performance degrades quietly, and standard metrics don’t catch it early. But that's where Prometheus alerting can help, if you're monitoring the right signals.

Built to Protect: The Quiet Engineering Behind Senior Alert Devices

When it comes to life-saving technology, the best tools are often the ones you never notice-until you need them. Senior alert systems are a perfect example. While they may seem simple on the surface, the real brilliance lies beneath: smart hardware, reliable software, and robust infrastructure all working silently to keep someone safe. And for older adults who want to live independently without compromising safety, reliability isn't just a nice-to-have-it's non-negotiable. These aren't fitness bands or smartwatches. They're lifelines. And they're engineered to perform like one.

How to import Prometheus-style alerts and recording rules to Grafana-managed alerts and recording rules

Grafana Alerting has evolved dramatically since the legacy dashboard-alert days. Today, Grafana-managed alerts power enterprise-scale monitoring in Grafana Cloud and on-prem installations. And over the last two years, we’ve added RBAC, state history, versioning, and much more. At the same time, our own monitoring at Grafana Labs relies heavily on Prometheus-style alerts—a situation that’s not uncommon for our users, too.

Under the hood: Request coverage feature

‍ The ilert mobile app is primarily used by responders to receive notifications about critical alerts, react to them on the go, and check their current on-call status. It has various capabilities, including critical notifications via push, quick actions for alerts, and critical alert settings. The app enables responders to view their current on-call shifts and escalation policies, take on-call shifts from somebody else, and create coverage requests to ask for on-call shift handover from a colleague.

What is Notification Software? From Routine Alerts to Emergency Response

Imagine this. You’re walking your dog, sipping a coffee, when your phone buzzes: Each ping comes from a different app, but they all have one thing in common: notification software. It’s woven into our everyday lives – quietly buzzing, blinking, or nudging us with information. But when it comes to critical operations in IT, healthcare, logistics, or utilities, not all notifications are created equal. Some are simply updates. Some are mass notifications. Others require immediate action.
