Insufficient and difficult-to-use native alerting functionality
Users are struggling with the native alerting system, finding it difficult to configure and lacking important support. Some are forced to use third-party addons or consider separate alerting systems because native solutions for specific needs, like flatline detection, are missing.

the alert function is really import for me to choose grafana, but it’s diffult to use and lack importand support, you know, i hate the idea configuring again in another alerting system, so i still struggle with this alerting
I am also very much interested in having some sort of functionality to alert the user when the graph flatlines. Seems like the only solutions at the moment are using third party addons with Grafana but I am wondering if and when this could become a native solution.
