Alloy Health integration does not register the pre-bundled alert rules

[edtshuma]

What's wrong?

I have enabled Grafana Alloy Health Integrations. As per the documentation if this is enabled the deployment will also contain some default alerts. I cannot see any of these alerts in my environment.

Steps to reproduce

Install Grafana Alloy Helm Chart with the following version:

apiVersion: helm.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v2beta2 kind: HelmRelease metadata: name: alloy-cluster namespace: monitoring spec: chart: spec: chart: 3rdparty/grafana/alloy sourceRef: kind: HelmRepository name: orion namespace: flux-system version: '0.6.0' dependsOn: - name: prometheus-operator-crds namespace: monitoring

Check for AlertRules using kubectl or in Grafana (Mimir) UI under Alert rules.

Did you install the integration on your Grafana Cloud Connections menu, as described here?

Did you install the integration on your Grafana Cloud Connections menu, as described here?

I am not running on Grafana Cloud . My installation is on AWS EKS.

[gaantunes]

Unfortunately this integration is only applicable to Grafana Cloud, but you can use the integration mixin (dashboards/alerts package) within your self hosted Grafana using grizzly.

grr apply mixin.libsonnet

How and where do I run this command from ? My Alloy is installed as a set of Helm releases (via Flux/kustomize) with the following resources:

Cluster Helm Release
config-cluster.yaml
release-cluster.yaml

Node Helm Release
config-node.yaml
release-node.yaml

and finally a kustomization.yaml file:

apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
configMapGenerator:
  - behavior: create
    files:
      - config-cluster.alloy
      - config-node.alloy
    name: alloy-config
    namespace: monitoring
    options:
      disableNameSuffixHash: true
kind: Kustomization
resources:
  - release-cluster.yaml
  - release-node.yaml`





And Alloy is deployed as a Statefulset:
