Description
What did you do?
Currently alertmanager would send an alert & resolve alert in the same way as a new message. Although when there are multiple alerts being triggered at the same time, slack channel could become messy and hard to identify which alert is being resolve and when. We'd need to scroll up and down trying to link resolve alert with initial alert triggered.
What did you expect to see?
Resolve alert should be sent into slack thread of the initial alert, this way it would make slack channel much cleaner. And it gives us better visibility on duration on mean-time-to-recover

Research direction
Start by tracing Alertmanager’s Slack notification handling and how initial and resolve alerts are sent. Determine how a subsequent notification can identify the initial Slack message and be posted in its thread. Done means resolve alerts appear in the corresponding initial-alert thread while new alerts continue to post as channel messages.
