Alert Manager notification by label

[sunils...@gmail.com]

Hi , 

I have configured Prometheus Alert Manager for dev, qa and prod env. 

But I want to send notification mail for only prod environment . However,  I want to see dev and uat also in Alert Manager portal . 

Below are the labels I have :

alertname

env

host

severity=mail

Configuration at Alert Manager : 

route:

  group_by: ['alertname']

  group_wait: 5m

  group_interval: 5m

  repeat_interval: 24h

  receiver: 'email-me'

receivers:

- name: 'email-me'

  email_configs:

  -to : 'em...@domain.com'

   from: someid

   smarthost: mail_server

inhibit_rules:

  - source_match:

       env: 'prod'

     target_match:

       severity:  'warning'

    equal: ['alertname', 'dev', 'instance']

Even though I am setting source_match , env=prod . I am receiving alert for dev and qa env . 

Thanks,

I think this is a misunderstanding about inhibit rules, they will not help with your use case. Use an additional route to match the environment and send dev/qa to a different receiver (which may not have any configs, so go nowhere).

Inhibit rules specify how one *alert* can inhibit (~silence) another – say, you have an alert that says "the whole datacenter is down", you can use inhibit rules to prevent all other alerts from notifying.
