Template variables are not supported in alerting.
Template variables should be used for discovery and drill down. Not controlling alert rules

its also a dupe of #6557

3Q

I want monitor this data ，What should I do ?

Remove template variables, replace with wildcard or regex pattern

where do i remove those template variables ?
It complains if i use this in the metrics 👍
SELECT mean("available_percent") FROM "mem" WHERE "host" =~ /^$host$/ and $timeFilter GROUP BY time($interval) fill(null)

So i cannot tell the alert to use the host that is having that issue ? will i have to add every host on the panel in order to choose them for the alert ?

It would be grate to add templates support in alerts. Otherwise the feature looks useless a bit.

How about adding a way to provide the values of said variables?

I updated the Grafana to 5.0 and after I can't use the alerting system. Its works wit 4.6, why can't use on 5.0?
I don't use template variable on alerted graph.

Template variables are not supported in alert queries

Agreed with @tiagoreip and @DimitriyKh , the query has a template variable to make the dashboards and it defeats the purpose to not be able to reuse the query for alerting.

@torkelo can you explain how we should be doing this with many graphs and many dashboards?

It still doesn't make sense for me, if you are able to template your dashboard and make it easier to work and even to watch, why couldn't We create an alert based on this templated dashboard?

Why is this issue not locked as spam like #6557 ? These +1 s are getting us nowhere closer to the goal.

Why do people keep asking for this and it keeps getting shut down?

It's not shut down. This issue was closed because it is a duplicate of #6557 which kindly suggest adding variable support as a feature request. That issue is still open. It's only locked because people can't stop commenting meaningless +1 s to spam everyone in the same thread.

I'd like to quote one of the comments from that issue, in case you don't understand why +1 messages are not welcomed:

Please stop +1'ing this issue. It generates unnecessary spam emails. The ability to add a reaction to a github issue comment has existed for a while now, and over 429 people have figured out how to like the initial comment instead of spamming everybody who is subscribed.
