Updated Prometheus Alert Rule Support

Dash0-specific Prometheus alert rule extensions are now available behind the dash0- prefix in the Dash0 operator's 0.37.1 release, ensuring a clear distinction from all other labels and annotations.

As part of this update, our two thresholds annotations have been renamed to better align with other Dash0-specific extensions:

  • threshold-degraded -> dash0-threshold-degraded
  • threshold-critical -> dash0-threshold-critical

Additionally, we've reimagined our handling of the severity label, offering you the freedom to assign any custom value that fits your needs.

These updates reflect our commitment to providing a seamless and intuitive experience for users adopting the Dash0 operator. For new users, we recommend adopting these updated naming conventions as detailed in our documentation. Existing users managing Dash0 Check Rules with the Prometheus alert rule format can rest easy—if a migration becomes necessary, we'll reach out to provide step-by-step guidance, ensuring a seamless transition.

With the Dash0 operator, managing check rules is simpler, more powerful, and tailored to your environment.
