Can alerts be added to a Grafana Panel on a dashboard using API?

Question

There is a Grafana dashboard with a panel inside it. Is it possible to add (or define) an API?

Answer 1

To create new alerts or modify them you need to update the dashboard json that contains the alerts. Use dashboard API and edit particular panel alert section. You need to define an alert there. For example:

  "alert": {
    "conditions": [
      {
        "type": "query",
        "query": {
          "params": [
            "A",
            "5m",
            "now"
          ]
        },
        "reducer": {
          "type": "avg",
          "params": []
        },
        "evaluator": {
          "type": "gt",
          "params": [
            null
          ]
        },
        "operator": {
          "type": "and"
        }
      }
    ],
