Surface metrics charts on the alert detail page for alerts from Externally-managed Prometheus

Problem to solve

Charts help users visualize what went wrong while triaging alerts. If a particular threshold was exceeded, we can reduce time spent during investigation by automatically including the relevant metrics chart in the alert.

Intended users

User experience goal

Have metrics available as part of the alerts workflow, so users don't have to switch context and/or navigate elsewhere as part of the alert triage process.

Proposal

Allow users to view metrics as part of the alert triage workflow for alerts from externally managed Prometheus instances.

Design

We can introduce an additional tab to hold the metrics we receive (or are able to generate):

Loading state Metric displayed No metrics available (MVC)
Metrics_-_loading Metrics_-_chart_displayed Metrics_-_possible_MVC_empty_state

Further details

This work supports the Alert Management direction.

Availability & Testing

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

What is the type of buyer?

Is this a cross-stage feature?
