Am I understand correctly that “Send Test” button become broken after some time? Do you see any errors in grafana log file when button don’t send email? you can open log file with the following command: ```auto docker exec -it pmm-server less /var/log/grafana/grafana.log ``` ---

I see “” issue in the logs It looks like internal grafana issue, see [https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/8353](https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/8353) the latest message from grafana developers on github > [@](#): > > Try upgrading to 4.3 and resave edit the alert query (just make a minor change then change back, or if that does not work remove the query and re add it ) then save dashboard. so it is needed to update grafana and resave alert. With grafana update we have two options: 1. wait a long time for PMM 1.2.0 release. 2. update grafana manually (i can prepare instructions for you) what do you think? do you want to wait for 1.2.0 or run some update commands manually?
