Description

Proposal

In the UI it would be helpful to display how many alerts a silenced has suppressed over the silence's lifetime. This will help show your silence actually accomplished its purpose, and possibly show what exactly it has silenced over time. This would be useful to make sure your targeting was correct and show how impactful your silence was.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Begin by identifying the UI silence view and the data needed to count alerts suppressed over the silence's lifetime; done means the UI shows a useful lifetime count and, if supported by the design, what it silenced.
