Hi,

I am observing an issue with AlertManager recently. I am running 
alertmanager as a pod and it works fine. Alerts from Prometheus are 
reaching and it's triggering alerts. It's silencing alerts created from the 
UI and curl command. The only issue is - suppose I am creating a silence 
for a particular host, which has multiple servers, the silencing works fine 
but 1 or 2 alerts still get spilled into the notification channel. I want 
to understand why this would happen. Either silence will not work at all 
for all servers belonging to the host, or silence would work for all the 
servers for that host. Why is this spilling alerts for any one or two 
servers for the particular host ?

Is it because too many alerts were getting generated and it was breaching a 
specified queue size for silenced alerts? Please help me understand under 
what circumstance alertmanager would spill a few alerts even though the 
alerts were all silenced.

Please note : only a few alerts are notifying despite the silence - 
sometimes one, sometimes 2, at random.

Thanks, Arnav
