Negative Match In Alertmanager Routing

[Sakshi Bansal]

Hello,

Currently we have match and match_re keys to enable matching for alert routing. Is there an option to enable 'negative match' in alert routing. For e.g., the alert does not match a specific value and only then it should get routed.

Routing rules nest, so creative use of the routes tree will probably do what you need:

routes:

- match_re:
    foo: 'abc.*'
  routes:

    - match_re:

        bar: 'def.*'

      receiver: null

    - receiver: someone

Hi,

Looking at this post i have one more question how could you go about sending one specific alert only to one receiver even if its matched for both of them?

[Brian Candler]

I don't understand what you mean by "matched for both of them".  The first routing rule to match wins, unless you set "continue: true" on that rule.

If you want to send a specific alert to one receiver, then make a rule which matches that alert and sends it to only that receiver.
