Alert filtering by labels doesn't work

[mfuhrmann]

• Grafana 4.6.3
• Prometheus Alertmanager Plugin 0.0.4

I have some labels as you can see here:

When I try a filter expression like context="PSP-T" still all alarms are visisble in Grafana. Also a filter like instance="IP-ADDRESS" which should only hit one single alarm is not working.
I always get all alarms.

It probably helps if you post an screenshot of how exactly your are querying the alertmanager (metrics section of the configuration).

Looks about right for me, are you 100% sure the context label is present in the alert? Can you put it in the legend to check?

[mfuhrmann]

Not sure what you mean. This one https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/4995222/38625039-e3c96562-3da9-11e8-8315-5e3e209b6d60.png is a screenshot of alertmanager which shows that I have the context labels, for example context="PSP-T". Unfortunately the second screenshot https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/4995222/38673880-deb64154-3e52-11e8-9cb6-cf8b254705fd.png is an other example which uses context="IT". Sorry, but I didn't have an other one at this moment.

I am also having the same issue. I can display all my current alerts on the table.
If one has a product table of test and i put product='test' in to the query box, it doesn't seem to do anything... in fact i cant get any query to work.
saying that the lable field works and its still great being able to display all my alerts...

Could you open the "query inspector" and check if your label is set under response -> data -> 0 -> labels?

[davidferdinand]

yep, its under that, but it just doesn't seem to do anything...

Same problem here.
Given that using template variables is not supported, this bug kills the only case where I could use Grafana for alerts.

@Santec Which version of Grafana and of the datasource are you using? Could you share the request created by the datasource and sent to the alertmanager (value of url in the Grafana's query inspector)?

[mfuhrmann]

Meanwhile it' Grafana 5.3.4 and 0.0.7 in my case. And it still does not filter.
URL in my case:
url:"https://server.domain.com/alert-manager//api/v1/alerts?silenced=false&inhibited=false&filter=context%3D%22IT%22%0A"

Since I'm using 6.2.x and the current version of this plugin (which is still the same), it works for me.
