How it works
Alertmanager sends webhook payloads to an IncidentRelay route token. IncidentRelay normalizes each alert item, preserves labels and annotations, then applies route matchers and grouping rules.
Good labels to keep
alertnamefor grouping and readable titles.severityfor channel filtering and prioritization.teamoroncall_teamfor ownership.service,job,namespaceorinstancefor service routing.
Typical route matcher
{
"labels": {
"team": "platform",
"severity": "critical"
}
}
What responders get
Responders see a normalized incident with labels, severity, source links and actions such as acknowledge, resolve, silence and escalation.
