Kubernetes - Monitoring and Logging

Given this Alertmanager config snippet, what will happen when multiple alerts fire simultaneously?

route:
  group_by: ['alertname']
  receiver: 'team-email'
receivers:
  - name: 'team-email'
    email_configs:
      - to: 'team@example.com'

AAlerts with the same 'alertname' will be grouped into one notification

BEach alert will send a separate email regardless of grouping

CNo alerts will be sent because 'group_wait' is missing

DAlerts will be sent only to Slack, not email

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand 'group_by' in Alertmanager route
'group_by' groups alerts by specified labels; here, alerts with same 'alertname' are grouped.
Step 2: Check receiver and notification method
Receiver 'team-email' uses email_configs, so grouped alerts send one email per alertname.
Final Answer:
Alerts with the same 'alertname' will be grouped into one notification -> Option A
