How to set the evaluationInterval for vmalert

Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) PMM 2.x

Previously, I can set the evaluationInterval for vmalert via /srv/prometheus/prometheus.base.yml but currently I cannot set the option anymore due to the error which described in this topic: The pmm-managed.log is continuously printing error logs regarding evaluation_interval option

So, how can I set the evaluationInterval for vmalert?

What version of PMM? 2.31.0 and newer uses the new grafana alerting engine so it’s done a different way (I don’t think it can be set in a Percona template but once the rule is created from a template you edit the rule and set the scan Inter an and evaluation duration I.e. every X seconds for Y seconds where X will be your interval for that alert)

Yes. I’m using the PMM 2.31.0 version. You mean that PMM no more support the evaluationInterval for vmalert?

Correct. The feature was still in tech preview so changes happen often as we iterate on functionality. In this case grafana released a feature that was a better way of delivering the overall value so we went with that. As far as I know grafana is still using alertmanager under the hood but I haven’t dug in deep enough to know how to manipulate it.
