Inhibition rules mute a set of alerts when another matching alert is firing.
B.
Inhibition rules repeat a set of alerts when another matching alert is firing.
C.
Inhibition rules inject a new set of alerts when a matching alert is firing.
D.
Inhibition rules inspect alerts when a matching set of alerts is firing.
The Answer Is:
A
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
Inhibition rulesin Prometheus’sAlertmanagerare used tosuppress (mute) alertsthat would otherwise be redundant when a higher-priority or related alert is already active. This feature helps avoid alert noise and ensures that operators focus on the root cause rather than multiple cascading symptoms.
For example, if a “DatacenterDown” alert is firing, inhibition rules can mute all “InstanceDown” alerts that share the same datacenter label, preventing redundant notifications. Inhibition is configured in the Alertmanager configuration file under the inhibit_rules section.
Each rule defines:
Asource match(the alert that triggers inhibition),
Atarget match(the alert to mute), and
Amatch condition(labels that must be equal for inhibition to apply).
Only when the source alert is active are the target alerts silenced.
