Questions

  1. What are the primary uses for recording rules?
  2. Why should you avoid setting different evaluation intervals in rule groups?
  3. If you were presented with the instance_job:latency_seconds_bucket:rate30s metric, what labels would you expect to find and what would be the expression used to record it?
  4. Why is using the sample value of an alert in the alert labels a bad idea?
  5. What is the pending state of an alert?
  6. How long would an alert wait between being triggered and transitioning to the firing state when the for clause is not specified?
  7. How can you test your rules without using Prometheus?
