* Alerting: Prevent short uid collision in legacy migration when db is case-insensitive
Two factors come into play that cause sporadic uid conflicts during legacy alert migration:
- MySQL and MySQL-compatible backends use case-insensitive collation.
- Our short uid generator is not a uniform RNG and generates uids in such a way that generations in quick succession have a higher probability of creating similar uids.
Normally we would be guaranteed unique short uid generation, however if the source alphabet contains
duplicate characters (for example, if we use case-insensitive comparison) this guarantee is void.
Generating even ~1000 uids in quick succession is nearly guaranteed to create a case-insensitive
duplicate.
* Alerting: Improve notification policies created during migration
Previously, migrated legacy alerts were connected to notification policies through
a `rule_uid` label in a 1:1 fashion. While this correctly mimicked pre-migration routing,
it didn't create a notification policy structure that is easy to view/modify. In addition,
having one policy per migrated alert is, in some ways, counter to the recommended approach of
Unified Alerting.
This change replaces `rule_uid`-based migrated notification policies with a private
label called `__contacts__`. This label stores a list of double quoted strings containing the names of
all contact points an AlertRule should route to (based on legacy notification channels). Finally,
one notification policy is created per contact point with each matching AlertRules via regex on this
`__contacts__` label.
The result is a simpler, clearer, and easier to modify notification policy structure, with the
added benefit that you can see which contact points an AlertRule is being routed to from the
AlertRule creation page.
* Extract standardized UID field length to constant
* Extract default length to constant
* Truncate rule names that are too long
* Add tests for name normalization
* Fix whitespace lint error
* Another linter fix
* Empty commit to kick build
* Alerting: Don't stop the migration when alert rule tags are invalid
As we migrate we expect the `alertRuleTags` on a dashboard alert to be a JSON object. However, it seems this is not really validated by Grafana and an user can change the format to something else that the JSON parser is not able to marshal into a `map[string]string`.
Let's do a bit better by "attempting" to parse the tags and if we can't we'll simple return an empty map. The data is still there so if the user wishes they can go back, fix the data and attemp the migration again.
Migrations:
* add a new column alert_group_idx to alert_rule table
* add a new column alert_group_idx to alert_rule_version table
* re-index existing rules during migration
API:
* set group index on update. Use the natural order of items in the array as group index
* sort rules in the group on GET
* update the version of all rules of all affected groups. This will make optimistic lock work in the case of multiple concurrent request touching the same groups.
UI:
* update UI to keep the order of alerts in a group
* Add missing OK option to models
* add ok to legacy legacy UI does not support it but it is possible to do so via provisioning.
* use enums in migration so linter would catch missing cases
* do not suppress NoData state
* extract conversion of state to postable alert + tests
* create a special alert instance if nodata
* use NoData when converting from Keep Last State instead of Alerting
* add silence during migration if NoData is mapped to KeepLastState.
* Alerting: modify table and accessors to limit org access appropriately
* Update migration to create multiple Alertmanager configs
* Apply suggestions from code review

* replace mg.ClearMigrationEntry()
mg.ClearMigrationEntry() would create a new session.
This commit introduces a new migration for clearing an entry from migration log for replacing mg.ClearMigrationEntry() so that all dashboard alert migration operations will run inside the same transaction.
It adds also `SkipMigrationLog()` in Migrator interface for skipping adding an entry in the migration_log.

* Not complete, put migration behind env flag for now:
UALERT_MIG=iDidBackup
* Important to backup, and not expect the same DB to keep working until the env trigger is removed.
* Alerting: Migrate dashboard alert permissions
* Do not use imported models
* Change folder titles
