View rule - Rule could not be found.

[Roberto6969]

Hello.

I have some inaccessible rules, which still generates alarms.

Rules are listed under Groups, but "See source" button shows:

How can I view as well as delete those rules?

Thank You!

thank you for creating this issue @Roberto6969

Let's check if there are any erros when clicking on See Source by increasing the verbosity of the Grafana server logs. For printing to console, set the console logs to debug as well. More info on troubleshooting Grafana issues here https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/v9.0/troubleshooting/

could also you try to use this API to gather the JSON of those inaccessible alerts?

GET /api/v1/provisioning/alert-rules/{UID}

You can also try the API to delete each rule:

DELETE /api/v1/provisioning/alert-rules/{UID}

@tonypowa thank you for your feedback. It is appreciated due to huge amount of false alarms, I had receiving all the time.

After carefully cleaning all orphan rules with API calls as you suggested, problem has gone. I have no more alerts, which couldn't display "See source".

The only numerous error still remains in log is:
msg="Rule declares one or many reserved labels. Those rules labels will be ignored" labels="alertname=Apparent_Power_alert"

Which labels are "reserved", anyway?

Thank You
Robert

msg="Rule declares one or many reserved labels. Those rules labels will be ignored" labels="alertname=Apparent_Power_alert"

it seems that is being discussed in this other issue:

I would advise to monitor that logging error from there
