Alertmanager silence disappeared after container restart

[Dovid Friedman]

I have Alertmanager running in K8S and every time I restart the pod all my silences disappear

Alertmanager stores its state in disk files, by default in subdirectory "data" relative to the working directory where alertmanager was launched.

From alertmanager --help:

      --storage.path="data/"     Base path for data storage.
      --data.retention=120h      How long to keep data for.

If you don't preserve that disk file, then it will lose its state.  If this is in kubernetes then you'll need to use a PVC to attach some sort of persistent storage volume.
