⚠️ Action required (API users) - migrate off the v1 alert history endpoints

The v1 alert history endpoints are deprecated and will be removed on 15 October 2026 to address a security vulnerability affecting them, tracked at #11747. Once removed, requests to the v1 endpoints will return 404 Not Found.

If you call any of the POST /api/v1/rules/{id}/history/stats, /timeline, /top_contributors or /overall_status, for example in scripts, integrations, or dashboards built on the API, move to the v2 GET /api/v2/rules/{id}/history/* equivalents. They return the same data, with some request and response schema changes (v2 uses query parameters instead of a JSON payload, cursor-based pagination, and a filterExpression string in place of the v1 filters object).

The migration guide covers the full endpoint mapping and every request/response change. Authentication and authorization are unchanged — the same API key and Viewer access continue to work.

Create alerts and dashboard panels right from Explorer views

The Create alert and Add to dashboard actions are now available directly in the Logs, Traces, and Metrics Explorer views, in the view headers and per chart in metrics, so you can turn the query you're looking at into an alert or a dashboard panel without leaving the explorer.
