Add alerting to this plugin

[rajeshggwp]

The plugin currently does not support alerting and hence creating this issue to enhance the plugin to support alerting. I found this grafana doc which explains how to add alerting to custom backend plugin - https://grafana.com/tutorials/build-a-data-source-backend-plugin/#enable-grafana-alerting

I tried building the plugin with the change mentioned in the above doc but I ran into issues while adding the alerting rule in grafana.
@meln5674 I would like to contribute to this issue and let me know your thoughts on this issue

I've not actually used grafana alerting before, so if that's something you'd know more about, I'd be more than happy to accept a PR. If you do, please make sure to add something to the integration tests to exercise it.

got it! I'll give it a shot.

Hi, any update on this?
Would definitely be a nice feature to have.

I got occupied with other work, I'll make the changes and test it. Based on Grafana's documentation, this change should be straight-forward. https://grafana.com/developers/plugin-tools/tutorials/build-a-data-source-backend-plugin#enable-grafana-alerting
