This release has been long in the making. We started on Alerting way back in March this year and it's finally released! Read more about all the highlights in the release here: http://grafana.org/blog/2016/11/09/grafana-4.0-beta-release/

Grafana really looks interesting, and it is interesting that you can add all the different backends to it, for an example I didn't know you can use Elasticsearch as a timeseries backend.

Is it correct that Grafana works best with Graphite? At least that seems to be my impression, and it is a bit sad, since I think Graphite is cool, but it really has a lot of moving parts.

I've used it with Influxdb, Elasticsearch, and Prometheus.

They all worked great. I can't think of any reason to use Graphite.

I wouldn't let that stop you from evaluating it. At my last few jobs I've used Grafana with Elasticsearch and Prometheus without a problem. I've never actually used it with Graphite. The only downside I've seen is that the queries are unique to the data source, so when looking at many of the examples online you have to figure out the equivalent for your's. There might be a performance difference, but I wouldn't know it since I haven't used Graphite.

Using it with InfluxDB, Prometheus and Zabbix. Works like a charm. One of my favorite tools!

As someone who is not too familiar with Graphana but is tasked with deploying it (shortly), just curious about the alerting and some of what I can do with it? I will read through the release page, but it's fun to get it from the horses mouth, if you're still available to comment?
