The optional `for` clause causes Prometheus to wait for a certain duration
between first encountering a new expression output vector element (like an
instance with a high HTTP error rate) and counting an alert as firing for this
element. Elements that are active, but not firing yet, are in pending state.
between first encountering a new expression output vector element and counting an alert as firing for this element. In this case, Prometheus will check that the alert continues to be active during each evaluation for 10 minutes before firing the alert. Elements that are active, but not firing yet, are in the pending state.
The `labels` clause allows specifying a set of additional labels to be attached
to the alert. Any existing conflicting labels will be overwritten. The label
values can be templated.
The `annotations` clause specifies another set of labels that are not
identifying for an alert instance. They are used to store longer additional
information such as alert descriptions or runbook links. The annotation values
can be templated.
