NAME

grafana-util-alert-delete - Delete one explicit alert resource identity.

SYNOPSIS

grafana-util alert delete [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

Delete one explicit alert resource identity.

• Remove a single rule, contact point, mute timing, policy tree, or template by identity.
• Reset the managed notification policy tree only when you intend to allow it.

BEFORE / AFTER

• Before: clean up a resource manually through the UI and hope you target the right object.
• After: delete exactly one named alert resource by kind and identity.

COMMON OPTIONS

• --kind selects the resource kind to delete.
• --identity provides the explicit resource identity.
• --allow-policy-reset permits policy-tree reset.
• --output-format renders delete preview or execution output as text or json.

SUCCESS CRITERIA

• The target kind and identity are the only things affected.
• A preview or execution result clearly shows the resource you meant to remove.
• Policy-tree resets only happen when --allow-policy-reset is present.

FAILURE CHECKS

• Confirm the kind matches the identity you intend to remove.
• Check the org/profile context before deleting if the resource is not where you expect.
• If you are touching the policy tree, make sure --allow-policy-reset is present and intentional.
