Description
Currently, when an alert fires while my phone is in silent mode, pushover sends notification after notification, waiting for me to acknowledge them. Notably, even if the alert is resolved by the time I see the alert, I still need to acknowledge the notification. This seems unnecessarily aggressive.
https://pushover.net/api#receipt, section “Canceling Emergency-Priority Retries” describes how to cancel notifications.
I suggest alertmanager should cancel notifications when the corresponding alert is resolved.
