Group Labels: Inherit labels across indicators of an Alert Group
Add labels to an Alert Group to be applied across all indicators while alert rule evaluations and unlock new workflows.
![Group Labels: Inherit labels across indicators of an Alert Group](https://last9.ghost.io/content/images/2024/06/last9-changelog-alert-group-labels.jpg)
Earlier, we had rolled out the capability to apply label filters across indicators of an Alert Group. Now, you can inherit labels across indicators from the parent Alert Group during alert evaluations and notifications so that you don’t have to spend time making instrumentation changes.
You can add labels to an Alert Group by going into the edit mode in the right sidebar while viewing an Alert Group. Added labels are inherited across all indicators of the group and are included in the existing labelset, hence all alert rules of the group are evaluated against the combined labelset.
These inherited rules are displayed across alert instances in Last9 alongside the default labelset as well as in Slack notifications as Group Labels
, and PagerDuty & Opsgenie notifications as group_labels
.
Some use cases that are unlocked:
- Context-specific filtering on Alert Monitor
- Apply routing in incident management tools
UPCOMING
Apply dynamic annotations while creating an alert ruleUPCOMING
Apply grouping in Alert Monitor
