Routing Keys:

• Ensemble Critical: YOUR_PAGERDUTY_ENSEMBLE_INTEGRATION_KEY
• General Critical: YOUR_PAGERDUTY_SERVICE_KEY

2.2 Alert Details Format

pagerduty_configs:
  - routing_key: 'YOUR_PAGERDUTY_ENSEMBLE_INTEGRATION_KEY'
    severity: 'critical'
    description: '{{ .GroupLabels.alertname }}: {{ .CommonAnnotations.summary }}'
    details:
      alert_type: '{{ .CommonLabels.alert_type }}'

3.3 Configuration Steps

# 1. Create Slack channels
# - #foxhunt-ensemble-critical
# - #foxhunt-ensemble-warnings
# - #foxhunt-ensemble-info

# 2. Create incoming webhooks for each channel
# Apps & Integrations → Incoming Webhooks → Add New Webhook

# 3. Update alertmanager.yml with webhook URLs
sed -i 's|YOUR/SLACK/WEBHOOK|T00000000/B00000000/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX|g' \
  monitoring/alertmanager/alertmanager.yml

# 4. Reload AlertManager
docker-compose restart alertmanager

---

4. Inhibition Rules (6 rules)

4.1 Purpose

Prevent alert storms by suppressing redundant alerts when a parent alert is firing.

4.2 Rules

1. Cascade suppresses individual failures

   • Source: EnsembleCascadeFailureDetected
   • Target: EnsembleModelFailureDetected
   • Reason: If 2+ models failed, individual failures are redundant

2. Critical Sharpe drop suppresses warning

   • Source: EnsembleSharpeRatioDropCritical
   • Target: EnsembleSharpeRatioDropWarning
   • Reason: Critical alert covers the warning case

3. High memory suppresses latency alerts

   • Source: EnsembleServiceMemoryHigh
   • Target: EnsembleAggregationLatencyP99High
   • Reason: Latency caused by memory pressure/swapping

4. High rollback rate suppresses individual failures

   • Source: EnsembleCheckpointRollbackRateHigh
   • Target: EnsembleCheckpointSwapFailed
   • Reason: Systematic rollback issue covers individual failures

5. Critical disagreement suppresses warning

   • Source: EnsembleHighDisagreementCritical
   • Target: EnsembleHighDisagreementWarning
   • Reason: Critical alert covers the warning case

6. Low confidence + high disagreement suppresses individual alerts

   • Source: EnsembleLowConfidenceHighDisagreement
   • Target: EnsembleHighDisagreementCritical|EnsembleHighDisagreementWarning
   • Reason: Combined alert is more severe than individual ones
