Create New Alert Rules Without PromQL Queries in Grafana 12.2 | Metrics Drilldown

Grafana 12.2 makes alert creation simpler by integrating the Metrics Drilldown app with the Alert Rule Query Editor. Instead of writing PromQL from scratch, you can now use a queryless workflow: explore metrics, add labels, and generate queries directly from Drilldown. This helps teams move faster and makes alerting more accessible for those new to PromQL.
