Inhibit rules query

[Radha R4]

I have alertmanager rules defined as below

My query is if memoryHigh alert comes up,will they be routed to receiver ChannelA as per the route match rule or will they be inhibited as per inhibit rule? Does the inhibit rule takes precendence here?

  routes:

- match_re:

namespace: monitoring

receiver: channelA

inhibit_rules:

- target_match:

alertname: memoryHigh

namespace: monitoring

source_match:

alertname: Inhibit

equal:

- prometheus

Yes, the inhibit rule takes precedence, so no notifications should be sent out as long as the inhibit condition is true.

E.g. if you have:

* an alert {alertname="memoryHigh", namespace="monitoring", prometheus="myprometheus"}

* an alert {alertname="Inhibit", prometheus="myprometheus"}

...then you will not get a notification for that first alert. Depending on your other routes, you may still get a notification for the second one though (if it's not routed to a no-op receiver).
