Description
The primary purpose of generatorURL is to be able to silence on it, this is important when you've a broken/inaccessible Prometheus server that continues to send incorrect alerts. This should be an additional option for silences, potentially hidden in an advanced section.

Research direction
Start by locating how silences are created and how generatorURL is represented and matched. Trace the existing silence options before deciding where a generatorURL matcher belongs, including whether it should be exposed in an advanced section. Done means users can create a silence that matches generatorURL and the resulting silence suppresses the intended alerts.
