Using two recievers for one alert

[Nenad Rakonjac]

Hi everyone, 

Is it possible to use two receivers for one alert? I want to implement something like this:

- match:
type: alert_alert
receiver: receiverOne

- match:
type: alert_alert
receiver: receiverTwo

receivers:

- name:  receiverOne
  email_configs:
  - to: 'emai...@gmail.com'
    from: 'emai...@gmail.com'

- name:  receiverTwo
  email_configs:
  - to: 'email...@gmail.com'
    from: 'emai...@gmail.com'

you have two solutions:

1. use continue: true

- match:
type: alert_alert
receiver: receiverOne

continue: true

- match:
type: alert_alert
receiver: receiverTwo

2. combine the receivers

- name: receiverOne
email_configs:
- to: 'emai...@gmail.com'
from: 'emai...@gmail.com'

- to: 'email...@gmail.com'
from: 'emai...@gmail.com'

Option 3: use child routes.  This avoids duplicating the match conditions.

- match:
    type: alert_alert
  routes: [ {receiver: receiverOne, continue: true}, {receiver: receiverTwo} ]  

The 'routes' branch is a separate subtree. Since each of the routes within it has no 'match' conditions, it implicitly matches everything, delivering to each of the receivers listed.  You need continue: true on each of them, except for the last.
