Ok, that worked, but I think it would be much better if such option could be added to the README.md.gz somewhere, or a README.Debian, or something. That will avoid searches in search engines, stackoverflow or the Debian BTS. There is yet another thing I didn't find anywhere and I would like to see documented somewhere in /usr/share/doc/prometheus-alertmanager: How do I add a silence which expires after one hour, for example? (The web UI allowed this, and in some sense it's basic stuff, so I think it should be documented as well). (Can you tell upstream to extend the README.md a little bit?) Thanks.
