We're forwarding our alerts out to an external system that requires some additional metadata and I'm trying to understand the effect of providing this metadata as annotations vs labels on each alert.
Context: We're utilizing both custom alerts and the default alerts that come with Openshift. The wrinkle is that those Openshift default alerts are Operator-managed, so we can't modify them directly to add the metadata as annotations (which from what I've found is the correct way to add metadata that you want to be the same across all instances of an alert). However, we can override the Openshift Prometheus' settings to add the values via the external labels field. Will this cause any issues with alerts being grouped together oddly or not being sent? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Users" group.
