# Labels in Grafana alerting
|
|
|
|
This topic explains why labels are a fundamental component of alerting.
|
|
|
|
- The complete set of labels for an alert is what uniquely identifies an alert within Grafana alerts.
|
|
- The Alertmanager uses labels to match alerts for [silences]({{< relref "../../silences/" >}}) and [alert groups]({{< relref "../../alert-groups/" >}}) in [notification policies]({{< relref "../../notifications/" >}}).
|
|
- The alerting UI shows labels for every alert instance generated during evaluation of that rule.
|
|
- Contact points can access labels to dynamically generate notifications that contain information specific to the alert that is resulting in a notification.
|
|
- Labels can be added to an [alerting rule]({{< relref "../../alerting-rules/" >}}). These manually configured labels are able to use template functions and reference other labels. Labels added to an alerting rule take precedence in the event of a collision between labels.
