## Create alert rules from panels
Create alert rules from time series panels. By doing so, you can reuse the queries in the panel and create alert rules based on them.
1. Navigate to a dashboard in the **Dashboards** section.
2. Hover over the top-right corner of a time series panel and click the panel menu icon.
3. From the dropdown menu, select **More...** > **New alert rule**.
The New alert rule form opens where you can configure and create your alert rule based on the query used in the panel.
{{% admonition type="note" %}}
Changes to the panel aren't reflected on the linked alert rules. If you change a query, you have to update it in both the panel and the alert rule.
Alert rules are only supported in [time series](ref:time-series-visualizations) visualizations.

# Create and link alert rules to panels
Grafana allows you to link an alert rule to a dashboard panel. This can help you:
- Inform alert responders about where to investigate and which data to examine.
- Visualize the alert state directly from dashboards.
An alert rule is linked to a panel by setting the [`dashboardUId` and `panelId` annotations](ref:annotations). Both annotations must be set together.
## Link alert rules to panels
When configuring the alert rule, you can set the dashboard and panel annotations as shown in this [video](https://youtu.be/ClLp-iSoaSY?si=qKWnvSVaQuvYcuw9&t=170).
1. Configure the alert rule.
1. In the **Configure notification message** section, click **Link dashboard and panel**.
1. Select an existing dashboard, then choose a panel from the selected dashboard.
1. Complete the alert rule configuration and click **Save rule** to initiate the alert rule.
You can then [view the alert state on the panel](ref:view-alert-state-on-panels).
{{< figure src="/media/docs/alerting/panel-displays-alert-state.png" max-width="1200px" caption="A panel displaying the alert status and state changes." >}}
## Create alert rules from panels
To streamline alert creation, you can create an alert rule directly from a panel.
1. Navigate to a dashboard in the **Dashboards** section.
1. Hover over the top-right corner of a panel and click the panel menu icon.
1. From the dropdown menu, select **More...** > **New alert rule**.
1. This opens the **Edit rule** form and pre-fills some values:
- Sets the `dashboardUId` and `panelId` annotations to the corresponding dashboard and panel.
- Sets the alert rule query using the panel query.
1. Complete the alert rule configuration and click **Save rule** to initiate the alert rule.
You can then [view the alert state on the panel](ref:view-alert-state-on-panels).
{{% admonition type="note" %}}
Changes to panel and alert rule queries aren't synchronized. If you change a query, you have to update it in both the panel and the alert rule.
{{% /admonition %}}
## Access linked alert rules from panels
This option is available only in [time series panels](ref:time-series-visualizations). To access alert rules associated to a time series panel, complete the following steps.
1. Hover over the top-right corner of the panel and click the panel menu icon.
1. Click **Edit**.
1. Click the **Alert** tab to view existing alert rules or create a new one.

# View alert state on panels
When an [alert rule is linked to a time series panel](ref:link-alert-rules-to-panels), the time series panel displays the alert state and alert events.
A heart icon near the panel title shows the current alert state:
- A broken red heart when the alert is in `Alerting` state.
- A green heart when the alert is in `Normal` state.
Colored annotations indicate changes in alert state, such as pending, alerting, and resolving.
{{< figure src="/media/docs/alerting/panel-displays-alert-state.png" max-width="1200px" alt="A panel with a firing alert and annotations that display the pending and alerting state changes." >}}
Additionally, Grafana provides an [alert list panel](ref:alert-list-panel) that you can add to a dashboard to display a list of alerts and their states.
{{< figure src="/static/img/docs/alert-list-panel/alert-list-panel.png" max-width="850px" alt="Two alert list panels displaying distinct lists of alerts." >}}
You can configure the alert list panel with various visualization options and filters to control how alerts are displayed. For more details, refer to the [Alert list documentation](ref:alert-list-panel).
