Internally (in the Grafana team), we call it unified alerting because it is a unified UI for non-Prometheus data sources together with Prometheus alerting (and Loki/Cortex/Grafana Cloud alerting) and allows you to see all your alerts together.

- For Prometheus, can view and search for alerts.

- For Loki and Cortex, can create and edit alert rules. See Alertmanager data source: https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/datasources/alertman...

- For non-Prometheus data sources, uses the Grafana alerting engine but also has an embedded Alertmanager. Can use the same routing, grouping, deduping and silencing features that Alertmanager provides but for data sources like InfluxDB or MySQL.
