Thank you Brian. Let's assume the refresh interval is only 5 secs, but during 5 secs the state might be changed. For exmaple, the target is changed to maintence(which is not the state we want to monitor) and start a reboot, but at this time point, prometheus doesn't know the state change, a fake alert will also be triggered for the reboot action. But the maintenance state is not the state we are going to monitor, we don't want to receive such kind of alerts. So we would like to check if there is a way for Prometheus to know the target state instantly before triggering an alert.
