repeated alerts about "no data" that are not actionable and recover themselves often enough

Description

Observation

I receive repeatedly from time to time email alerts about "[No Data] Queue: State (SUSE) alert", similar "[No Data] HTTP Response alert". I doubt anyone is acting on these but the systems automatically recover.

Problem

We should only have actionable and serious alerts to prevent alarm fatigue. The alerts should be prevented.

merged, maybe alarms go away. I hope with this we have not lost an alert about "the host has completely vanished" with this ;)

[Alerting] Queue: State (SUSE) alert

Error message

tsdb.HandleRequest() error Get "http://localhost:8086/query?db=telegraf&epoch=s&q=SELECT+mean%28%22scheduled%22%29+FROM+%22openqa_jobs%22+WHERE+%22url%22+%3D+%27https%3A%2F%2Fopenqa.suse.de%27+AND+time+%3E+now%28%29+-+1m+GROUP+BY+time%2840s%29+fill%28null%29": dial tcp [::1]:8086: connect: connection refused
Metric name

Value

The alert went back to OK within the next minute.

I'm tentatively re-opening the ticket - feel free to create a new one if you think it's a new issue.

The original issue was about "No data" whenever hosts are offline. We fixed that by ignoring "no data" and having a specific "host up" alert that is controlled by pinging the corresponding machine from another instance, e.g. openqa.suse.de pings each worker. What you reference looks like something quite different as it's an actual "Alert" but communication is refused. Please create a specific new issue about that.
