What is the criteria in Prometheus for Age of alerts in ALERTS_FOR_STATE.

[Yagyansh S. Kumar]

Hi. I want to get the age of my alerts, and have been playing around with ALERTS_FOR_STATE for the same. After converting the Epoch Time to Normal Date-Time, the age that I am getting for the alerts seem to be incorrect for some of the alerts. Also, I can see a lot of my alerts are having the same age, which is not the case. So, what criteria is being used to get that Epoch Time?

Can someone help understanding this discrepancy?

Thanks in advance!

That metric is an internal implementation detail of how we recover the for state on restart, so you shouldn't really depend on it one way or the other.

Thanks Brain.

What other way do you suggest to get the accurate age of alerts?
