99 -* Based on the data gathered via datasources, alerts can be defined.
100 -* In contrast to the classic alerting, the new Grafana Unified Alerting is set up mostly independent of specific dashboards.
101 -* Alerting configuration is split into
102 -** Alert rules
103 -** Contact points
104 -** Notification policies
105 -* How it works
106 -** Grafana alerting periodically queries data sources and evaluates the condition defined in the alert rule
107 -** If the condition is breached, an alert instance fires
108 -** Firing instances are routed to notification policies based on matching labels
109 -** Notifications are sent out to the contact points specified in the notification policy
