Silence does not seem to work until the alert is received from prometheus

Open primeroz opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

What did you do?

  • Had a Pending Alert in prometheus with alertname=MyPendingAlert
  • Created a Silence in alertmanager for alertname=MyPendingAlert

What did you expect to see? When the Alert went into Firing state and prometheus sent it to alertmanater i expected any notification for the alert to be suppressed

What did you see instead? Under which circumstances? The initial notification was not suppressed and a new alert was created , in my case, in opsgenie.

After that no further notification were sent and the alert was properly silenced

Environment

  • System information: GKE 1.14.10
  • Alertmanager version: 0.20.0
  • Prometheus version: 2.16.0

You'd need to provide your configuration as well as Alertmanager logs (ideally with -log.level=debug).

Sure can do , but i will need a bit of time to get around doing all of it and replicate the issue

@primeroz has the issue occurred again? Even in v0.20.0 the silence should stop the notification pipeline if all alerts are muted
