Very new to python. I am in need of a sample code in python that would allow me to get the list of alerts/alarms configured in Grafana. Thanks for your help.
I have tried googling and searching on github but what I could get was a code to create new alarms. But I just want to get the list of alarms. Don't really know how to go about it.
There exists a python package for this exact usage grafana_alerts. You want to get Grafana alerts onto your python script using some sort of API.
Installation: pip install grafana_alerts
You'll have to create a config file /etc/grafana_alerts/grafana_alerts.cfg
# # Grafana alerts configuration file. # # The URL where grafana server is listening. It must finish with the character '/' (default value: http://localhost:3130) grafana_url = http://yourgrafanaserver.com/grafana/ # Grafana token with viewer access (default value: empty string) grafana_token = qwertysDssdsfsfsdfSFsfsfEWrwrwERwrewrwrWeRwRwerWRwERwerWRwerweRwrEWrWErwerWeRwRwrewerr== # email to use as alert sender (default value: grafana-alert@localhost) email_from = alert@example.com # smtp server to use (default value: localhost) smtp_server = localhost # smtp server host to use (default value: 25) # if port is not 25, starts a tls session. smtp_port = 25 # smtp server username to use if it is needed. Optional. Leave it commented if not used. (default value: no username) #smtp_username = my_smtp_username # smtp server password to use if it is needed. Optional. Leave it commented if not used. (default value: no password) #smtp_password = my_smtp_passwordAdd the task to execute it for example each 3 minutes:
