@nickwallen what you are looking at is a desired behavior. If the alerts
are a part of the meta alert they do not appear in the facets
> Hide child alerts from searches and grouping if they belong to meta alerts

> If an alert is already grouped into a meta alert, it's nice to route
> everything through the same query structure and allow sorting alongside them,
> etc. However, showing alerts that are already contained in a meta alert is
> potential clutter for a user and gives the impression an event has occurred
> twice if it's in a standalone alert and a metaalert.
> This should hide alerts contained in a meta alert from searches (which will
> always match the enclosing meta alert anyway, so nothing will be lost from
> the search).
> They should also be hidden from grouping calls, because the user has already
> manually grouped them during prior slicing and dicing.
