How do I route and suppress alerts from a rule?
Every rule has a routing block: pick channels, set quiet hours, dedupe windows, and escalation paths so noisy rules never wake the wrong person.
Quick answer#
Inside each rule, open Routing to pick channels (email, Slack, webhook, SMS), set Quiet hours, choose a Dedupe window (default 15 min), and add an Escalation step if the alert is not acknowledged.
