 ### Configure the state history view
 
-**Note:** This applies to Open Source only. There is no configuration required if you are using Grafana Cloud.
-
-To enable the state history view, complete the following steps.
-
-1. Ensure you have a Loki instance running to save your history to.
-1. Configure the following settings in your Grafana configuration:
-
-   a. Enable the Loki backend and Loki remote URL.
-
-   b. Enable the three feature toggles for alert state history.
-
-**Example:**
-
-```
-[unified_alerting.state_history]
-enabled = true
-backend = loki
-loki_remote_url = http://localhost:3100
-
-[feature_toggles]
-enable = alertStateHistoryLokiSecondary, alertStateHistoryLokiPrimary, alertStateHistoryLokiOnly
-```
+To enable the state history view, see [Configuring alert state history]({{< relref "../set-up/configure-alert-state-history/index.md" >}}).
 
 ### View state history
 
 To use the State history view, complete the following steps.
 
-1. Navigate to **Alerts&IRM** -> **Alerting** -> **Alert rules**.
+1. Navigate to **Alerts & IRM** -> **Alerting** -> **Alert rules**.

+# Configure Alert State History
+
+{{% admonition type="note" %}}
+This applies to Open Source only. There is no configuration required if you are using Grafana Cloud.
+{{% /admonition %}}
+
+Starting with Grafana 10, Alerting can record all alert rule state changes for your Grafana managed alert rules in a Loki instance.
+
+This allows you to explore the behavior of your alert rules in the Grafana explore view and levels up the existing state history modal with a powerful new visualisation.
+
+<!-- image here, maybe the one from the blog? -->
+
+## Configuring Loki
+
+To set up alert state history, make sure to have a Loki instance Grafana can write data to. The default settings might need some tweaking as the state history modal might query up to 30 days of data.
+
+The following change to the default configuration should work for most instances, but we recommend looking at the full Loki configuration settings and adjust according to your needs.
+
+As this might impact the performances of an existing Loki instance, we recommend using a separate Loki instance for the alert state history.
+
+```yaml
+limits_config:
+  split_queries_by_interval: '24h'
+  max_query_parallelism: 32
+```
+
+## Configuring Grafana
+
+We need some additional configuration in the Grafana configuration file to have it working with the alert state history.
+
+The example below instructs Grafana to write alert state history to a local Loki instance:
+
+```toml
+[unified_alerting.state_history]
+enabled = true
+backend = "loki"
+loki_remote_url = "http://localhost:3100"
+
+[feature_toggles]
+enable = alertStateHistoryLokiSecondary, alertStateHistoryLokiPrimary, alertStateHistoryLokiOnly
+```
+
+<!-- TODO can we add some more info here about the feature flags and the various different supported setups with Loki as Primary / Secondary, etc? -->
+
+## Adding the Loki data source
+
+See our instructions on [adding a data source](/docs/grafana/latest/administration/data-source-management/).
+
+## Querying the history
+
+If everything is set up correctly you can use the Grafana Explore view to start querying the Loki data source.
+
+A simple litmus test to see if data is being written correctly into the Loki instance is the following query:
+
+```logQL
+{ from="state-history" } | json
+```
