Notification events did not include alert details like fingerprint in all cases. This made it defficult to track an alert end to end when querying events produced by event recorder.

This change:

  • adds firing, muted, resolved alerts to notify context
  • emits the alerts in all notify events' details
  • drops GroupedAlerts by embedding alerts directly

This is follow up for #5409

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The event schema and recorder now use direct alert.Alert values. Notification context stores full muted alerts. Notification event creation receives all alerts and partitions firing, resolved, and muted details.

Changes

Alert event pipeline

Layer / File(s) Summary
Direct alert event contracts
proto/eventrecorder/events/v2/events.proto, eventrecorder/events.go, eventrecorder/events_test.go
The event schema removes GroupedAlert. Event constructors and notification fields now use *alert.Alert values. Tests verify alert snapshots and direct alert payloads.
Muted alert detail accumulation
notify/context.go, notify/mute.go, notify/mute_test.go
The context stores muted alert objects instead of hash sets. Chained mute stages append muted alerts in execution order.
Notification event assembly
notify/event.go, notify/retry_stage.go, notify/notify_test.go
Notification event creation receives the full alert slice, partitions firing and resolved alerts, includes muted details, and passes direct alert payloads to the recorder. Tests migrate alert types and verify recorded fingerprints and labels.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2e50c

This change makes notification events carry complete alert details, but it also changes the nested protobuf message type on existing v2 field numbers. During mixed-version rollout or rollback, consumers may reject or misinterpret alert data, disrupting event observability; merge should wait for an explicit compatibility decision or schema-versioning fix.

Explanation

The description accurately explains the change and links it to issue #5409, but it does not use the required checklist structure. It also omits the release-notes block, applicable bugfix test confirmation, API or breaking-change declarations, documentation status, and sign-off status.

Resolution

Complete the repository PR template. Add the checklist with applicable boxes selected, document the bugfix tests, API and breaking-change status, documentation status, commit sign-off, and best-practices confirmation. Add a release-notes entry or explicitly state NONE.

- Line 40: Update newNotificationEvent to partition alerts using the
firing/resolved fingerprint snapshot recorded by DedupStage.Exec before
Integration.Notify, rather than calling the time-dependent alert.Resolved()
again. Ensure each event preserves the status observed when notification began,
including alerts that resolve during a slow notifier request.

In `@proto/eventrecorder/events/v2/events.proto`:
- Line 71: Preserve protobuf compatibility in events.proto by retaining the
existing fields 1–4 and their GroupedAlert wire shape; do not replace them with
Alert at those numbers. Add direct-alert fields under new field numbers or
introduce a versioned schema, then update consumers and migrate retained records
before removing any legacy fields. Apply this to the sites at
proto/eventrecorder/events/v2/events.proto lines 71-71, 77-77, and 99-102.
