Hello there I have a question but couldn't find relevant discussions on github. Is there a way to configure the alert manager on signoz cloud - in particular, can I configure it such that the alert manager can group (some) alerts by the alert name AND other fields in the payload? I read it here that

By default, the SigNoz alert manager groups alerts by the alert name and delivers grouped messages every 5 minutes.

Hey @Charles Cheng ! You can use the search bar at the top to filter/find alerts by their name, severity and labels. That said, could you share a bit more about your specific use case? Understanding what you’re trying to achieve will help us guide you better on whether custom grouping by additional fields is possible or suggest a workaround that fits your scenario.

Essentially we are trying to re-use some existing webhook that we developed for receiving alert payload from thanos (which uses a prometheus alert manager). We configure the alert manager such that the notifications will be sent with alerts grouped by both the alert name and the cluster name (alerts coming from various k8s clusters). If this cannot be done on SigNoz cloud, we'll need to write another webhook for it. Just wanna make sure it can or cannot be done beforehand.

@Srikanth Chekuri would be the best person to help you with this.

while you guys are at it, there are some more questions: • is there a limitation on the number of alert rules created within the same instance of signoz cloud? • is there a limitation on the number of alert channels (notification channels) created within the same instance of signoz cloud? • from the API documentation, I find the API for creating and deleting alert rules. Wonder if the API endpoint for creating/deleting alert channels is also available?

Custom grouping is not supported

• is there a limitation on the number of alert rules created within the same instance of signoz cloud?

how many are you planning to create?

No

It's not documented for channel creation. Can you please help us understand more about your workflow and how you plan to use?
