Thanks for the quick response. I appreciate your advice and I know that instance label shouldn't contain the port number and that should be the ideal way forward, but now my setup is huge. I'll have to change things over all my dashboards and I am monitoring close to 3000 servers. Eventually, I am going to change the instance label altogether but currently I need a short term solution to remove the port from alert annotations. Is it at all possible?
