Tested with Grafana 11.1.3 not working
I have tested with Grafana version 11.1.13 and can see that SonarG is triggering the sound alert as expected. Please share your exact scenario, which will help me support you better.
Also, a few inputs on the setup for this version:
Please check whether your dashboard visualization panel is triggering an alert based on your alert condition.
Please confirm that the SonarG option for Grafana versions above 10 is selected.
Indeed. I checked and it was misunderstanding on my side.. I was using table type dashboard visualization which doesn’t support trigger alert. After switching to time series type dashboard, the alert triggering was evident from showing the green heart (healthy) vs broken red heart (alerting) status on the visualization, and then SonarG started working. Thank you very much!
Great, glad to hear it is working now. The time series panel is required for Grafana alerting, so that explains the behavior you were seeing. If you run into anything else or need help tuning the alerts, just let me know.
