What is this feature?
This PR introduces a new alert rule configuration option, keep_firing_for (Prometheus documentation).
keep_firing_for prevents alerts from resolving immediately after the alert condition returns to normal. Instead, they transition into a "Recovering" state and are not considered resolved by the Alertmanager. Once the recovery period ends (or after the next evaluation if it is bigger than keep_firing_for), the alert transitions to "Normal" if it doesn't start alerting again:
Before
+----------+ +----------+
| Alerting |---->| Normal |
+----------+ +----------+
-----
After
+----------+ +------------+ +----------+
| Alerting |----->| Recovering |---->| Normal |
+----------+ +------------+ +----------+
Why do we need this feature?
This feature prevents flapping alerts by adding a recovery period. This helps avoid false resolutions caused by brief alert
* add column guid to alert rule table and rule_guid to rule version table
+ populate the new field with UUID
* update storage and domain models
* patch GUID
* ignore GUID in fingerprint tests
* introduce new fields created_by in rule tables
* update domain model and compat layer to support UpdatedBy
* add alert rule generator mutators for UpdatedBy
* ignore UpdatedBy in diff and hash calculation
* Add user context to alert rule insert/update operations
Updated InsertAlertRules and UpdateAlertRules methods to accept a user context parameter. This change ensures auditability and better tracking of user actions when creating or updating alert rules. Adjusted all relevant calls and interfaces to pass the user context accordingly.
* set UpdatedBy in PreSave because this is where Updated is set
* Use nil userID for system-initiated updates
This ensures differentiation between system and user-initiated changes for better traceability and clarity in update origins.
