Thank you for the clarification. Ben,
Do we have any tool or to benchmark the alerting part on prometheus? to know how many series are fetched to Memory and also when the evaluation frequency is set to 10seconds then will it have caching of previous results and only the diff will get into memory calculation or entire thing will be addition because of too less eval interval ? Does Cortex, Thanos, Victoriametrics support Rule or relabling via API or through UI ?
