SearchServiceElasticsearchIndexingTrafficCessation alert generated as s2 instead of the expected s3
SRE on-call got paged for SearchServiceElasticsearchIndexingTrafficCessation
which we had expected to be a non-paging severity s3 alert, as per this line:
However, when we look at the actual generated severity, it is defined as s2
:
$ ag -A30 SearchServiceElasticsearchIndexingTrafficCessation | grep severity
thanos-rules/autogenerated-service-level-alerts-search-ops.yml:35- severity: s2
thanos-rules/autogenerated-service-level-alerts-search-gprd.yml:35- severity: s2
thanos-rules/autogenerated-service-level-alerts-search-other.yml:35- severity: s2
We don't quite understand why.
