To check active Prometheus alerts and get resolution guidance, query the Alertmanager and Prometheus APIs to display current alert names, severity, and start times alongside specific troubleshooting steps for common infrastructure, pipeline, and services tier issues.

You can see active Alertmanager silences by querying the Alertmanager API through shell scripts, which identifies and lists all current silences that might be masking underlying system problems.

The best way to troubleshoot firing or pending Prometheus rules is to query the Prometheus API to retrieve current rule states, then apply the provided resolution hints for common infrastructure and services alerts.

Yes, you can get automated resolution steps for infrastructure and pipeline alerts by retrieving active alerts from the observability stack, which provides specific, actionable troubleshooting guidance for common issues across these tiers.

This monitoring approach requires an observability stack running Prometheus and Alertmanager, as it queries their APIs via shell scripts to retrieve real-time alert states, silences, and rule statuses.

System alerts may not show up during troubleshooting if active Alertmanager silences are masking them; querying the API helps identify any silences currently suppressing alerts in the observability stack.
