Alert Sorting (coming soon)
4 min
Overview
Alert Sorting will help teams reduce alert noise by grouping related events, surfacing high-priority issues, and connecting alerts to Kubegrade workflows for faster action.
This module is coming soon and details may evolve.
Ingest sources (Prometheus/Alertmanager etc.)
Planned/common sources:
- Prometheus Alertmanager
- Grafana alerts
- Datadog monitors
- PagerDuty incidents/events
- Webhook-based alert feeds
- Additional observability tools (as integrations expand)
Dedup, grouping, suppression
Planned capabilities:
- Deduplicate repeated alerts
- Group by service/namespace/cluster/root-cause candidate
- Suppress known-noisy or low-signal alerts
- Correlate alerts with active incidents and graph state
Routing rules (team/service/cluster)
Planned routing based on:
- Team ownership
- Cluster/environment
- Namespace/service labels
- Severity
- Time windows/on-call schedules (via integrations)
Suggested actions + links into workflows
Planned actions:
- Open troubleshooting investigation with alert context
- Jump to impacted dependency graph
- Trigger drift scan on affected namespace
- Draft remediation PR (where applicable)
- Create/update Jira/PagerDuty ticket
Noise tuning playbook
Recommended future playbook structure:
- Identify top noisy alert classes
- Define ownership labels and routing metadata
- Add dedup/grouping rules
- Add suppressions with expiry
- Track MTTA/MTTR and false-positive reduction
- Review monthly
