Description

While exploring SLOs and experimenting with group by, I noticed a pattern in how alerts are displayed.

For an SLO defined with service.name:* and group by service.name:

  • On the main SLO page, if no instance is selected, the alerts appear empty.
  • When filtering by a specific instance, the alerts are displayed.

Since no instance is selected, I wonder if it would make sense for the alerts tab/counter to query all the relevant/affected services.

The example I used with service.name:* might not be a very common use case, but I imagine the same considerations could apply to other types of definition/grouping.
