Alert Notifications and Channel Are Deprecated, Add support for New Alerting Entities

[safaci2000]

Task List

• ContactPoints
• AlertRules
• NotificationPolicy
• Templates

Remove all the Alert Notifications code and replace with the newly updated entities.

Channels are now Contact Points

Alert Rules would replace the Notifications.

This is a bit more involved than I had anticipated. I may push this back to another release.

But for this to really be useful, from what I'm reading on: https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/developers/http_api/alerting_provisioning/

We would need:

Required:

• ContactPoints,
  -AlertRules
  -NotificationPolicy
• Templates

Nice to Have:

• Mute Timings

I need to dig a bit more into this but will push this back a bit.
