Amazon Managed Grafana now supports silences for Grafana alerts

You can now use silences to suppress alert notifications for Grafana alerts in Amazon Managed Grafana. Grafana alerts enable you to proactively monitor your data and receive notifications about critical issues in real time. Silences allow you to temporarily disable notifications from specific alerts, for a specified duration.

Silences reduce alert fatigue during scheduled maintenances, operational events or when dealing with known issues, without disabling the underlying alert rules. You can silence your Grafana alert notifications based on alert labels or by directly silencing notifications for a specific Grafana alert rule.

This feature is supported on all Amazon Managed Grafana workspaces running Grafana version 10.4, across all AWS regions where Amazon Managed Grafana is generally available.
