Check whether any alert is muted

Machine verified A machine ran this on our install and checked the result against the CLI. A test report is linked. CLI 0.3.1, checked 2026-10-17.

Is anything muted?

Ask whether any alert is silenced, so a real problem cannot slip past unseen. Then read the silences yourself.

What you get: confidence that a silence someone set for maintenance is not still hiding alerts today.

Ask Quox

Section titled “Ask Quox”

Ask in plain words:

quox · talking to Quox

Are any of my alerts currently muted? Show me the silences.

No, none of your alerts are muted. The monitoring specialist checked Alertmanager and it
has no silences at all: none active, none pending, and none expired in what came back.
Nothing is being suppressed, so any alert that fires will notify as normal.

The check was read-only and I changed nothing.

Quox asked the metrics agent, which read the silences from Alertmanager and changed nothing. With none in place, every alert that fires will notify as normal.

Every alert that fires will route and notify normally; nothing is being suppressed. Nothing was changed, this was a read only.
From a real run on our own install, later the same day as the conversation above. The check runs through the metrics agent, so the reply is its summary of the tool's result. The closing line left out.

count is how many silences are in place. Zero means nothing is being suppressed.
