+ This is an alert meant to ensure that the entire alerting pipeline is functional.
+ This alert is always firing, therefore it should always be firing in Alertmanager
+ and always fire against a receiver. There are integrations with various notification
+ mechanisms that send a notification when this alert is not firing. For example the
+ "DeadMansSnitch" integration in PagerDuty.
