## High load on database caused by a high number of alert instances
If you have a high number of alert instances, it can happen that the load on the database gets very high, as each state
transition of an alert instance will be saved in the database.
This can be prevented by writing to the database periodically. For this the feature flag `alertingSaveStatePeriodic` needs
to be enabled. By default it will save the states every 5 minutes to the database and on each shutdown. The periodic interval
can also be configured using the `state_periodic_save_interval` configuration flag.
The time it takes to write to the database periodically can be monitored using the `state_full_sync_duration_seconds` metric
that is exposed by Grafana.
