I created the image using RHEL 7 and I could see that the DNS is delegated to Openshift node hosting this pod. I was also able to run curl command from within the pod which was successful. But as you point out, issue could very well be within the image I built, will try to gather more information when it happens again. I updated the prometheus & alertmanager with most recent version and restarted the pods, keeping my fingers crossed. Thank you for your help.
