Grafana Response Status(422) for /api/dashboards/db: {"message":"alert validation error: \"evaluate every\" field could not be parsed"}
If I set the id to null as I would with a dashboard without alerts defined, I get the “Invalid alert data. Cannot save dashboard.” error.
error=“Invalid alert data. Cannot save dashboard”
as soon as i hit “Test Rule” i get balloon warning “Failed to extract alert.Reason: Could not parse frequency”
