Description

Summary

The migration in #112845 introduces repeating panels as well as a new concept of grouped alerts. We should know how that impacts existing alert handling and potentially take advantage of it where beneficial.

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: grouping of alerts is properly configured and understood

Suggestions

  • Look into alert grouping
  • Confirm that alert group is what we think it is
  • Monitor alert emails and see how they can be affected by grouping
  • Figure out how to avoid multiple redundant alert emails e.g. several emails like [FIRING:1] (Failed systemd services alert (except openqa) about the same issue (the alert was only in the state "Alerting" once on the day we've got the redundant mails) with no changes in-between OR confirm if there was a change that's somehow not reflected in the email

This is probably not important for now as we discussed, so I'm putting it in future. Eventually we'll need to answer questions regarding this.

Grouped alerts are working in a way that if multiple alerts are firing they are grouped hence preventing a too high number of alert notification messages. So it's properly configured and I have a good feeling of understanding hence IMHO we can resolve
