Dont resolve alerts when exporter is down

[Marek Fiala]

Hi,

I have my own custom exporter with metrics of our network devices.

Sometimes this exporter is down for short time and it causes resolve all alerts and then start again. So all sms/email notifications are sent again.

How can I solve this issue? I don't want to resolve alerts (and send notifications) when I have no data (exporter is down).

Thank you.
