Alert state is not surfaced when using Grafana Unified Alerting

[elizabeth-prairie]

Current Behavior

The alert state is not surfaced on the EntityGrafanaAlertsCard component when using Grafana Unified Alerting.

Expected Behavior

We expect that the alert state be surfaced on the EntityGrafanaAlertsCard component when using Grafana Unified Alerting, just as it is for the Grafana Legacy Alerts.

Troubleshooting

We identified that the alert state is intentionally disabled when using Grafana Unified Alerting. We suspect this was the case as the API that is currently used to retrieve the alerts (/api/ruler/grafana/api/v1/rules) does not return the alert state.

Can you provide context as to why the /api/ruler/grafana/api/v1/rules endpoint was chosen?

Possible Solutions

The /api/prometheus/grafana/api/v1/alerts endpoint could be called in conjunction with the /api/ruler/grafana/api/v1/rules endpoint to retrieve the alert state.

Alternatively, the /api/prometheus/grafana/api/v1/rules endpoint appears to return the majority of the needed information, however this does not seem to include rule_uid.
