A migration from legacy to Grafana 8 Alerting will never incur a data loss, as the previous data is kept around for rollback purposes. However, going from Grafana 8 Alerting to legacy alerting will delete all the data created for Grafana 8

It is recommended that you backup your database before attempting a migration between systems. If unclear, please verify the table below: | `` | `` | With Existing Legacy Alerts | Result | | | -- | | | | `true` | `true` | N/A | Error | | `true` | `false` | N/A | Legacy Alerting | | `true` | not set | Yes | Legacy Alerting | | `true` | not set | No | Grafana 8 Alerting | | not set | `true` | N/A | Grafana 8 Alerting | | not set | `false` | N/A | Legacy Alerting | | not set | not set | Yes | Legacy Alerting | | not set | not set | No | Grafana 8 Alerting | | `false` | `true` | N/A | Grafana 8 Alerting | | `false` | `false` | N/A | Alerting disabled | | `false` | not set | N/A | Grafana 8 Alerting | N/A in the "With Existing Legacy Alerts" column means that it does not matter if you have legacy alerts or not. Issue In Grafana 8.3.0-beta2 we changed how alert rules that use `Keep Last State` for `If execution error or timeout` are upgraded from Legacy Alerting to Grafana 8 alerting. In 8.3.0-beta1 and earlier, alert rules with `Keep Last State` for `If execution error or timeout` were changed to `Alerting` when upgrading from Legacy Alerting to Grafana 8 alerting. However, in 8.3.0-beta2 these alert rules are now upgraded to a new option called `Error`. With this option, on encountering an error evaluating an alert rule, Grafana creates a special alert called `DatasourceError` with the `ruleuid` and `refid` as labels and an annotation called `Error` with the error message. Issue The access mode "browser" is deprecated in the following data sources and will be removed in a later release: Prometheus InfluxDB Elasticsearch Issue Select: Select menus now properly scroll during keyboard navigation. ,
