Is it possible to only generate alerts in the working hours

[bbigras]

I have the following rule to get alerts if my program didn't do its job at least once in the last 15 minutes.

I would like to be only notified in the working hours (like 9:00AM to 5:00PM).

Limiting alerts depending of the current time may not make sense for online services but in my case, it's for a polling program that only run in the working hour and if a problem happens, it's important enough (in the day) that I get paged.

ALERT TestLastOk
  IF absent(last_ok ) or on (name) (time() - last_ok > 900)
  WITH {}
  SUMMARY "problem"
  DESCRIPTION "the thing didn't run in the last 15 minutes"

Presuming you're in UTC, (vector(time()) % 86400 / 3600 > 5 < 17) will return a timeseries in that time. and could be used to restrict based on that.

Thanks.

Is there also a way to restrict based on the weekday (like monday to friday)?

I've asked previously, and I think this is a matter for the AlertManager.
The new version is currently under construction. I'm hoping it will include
this functionality.

@brunoqc not currently. You could have an exporter that reported the current day.
