How can I set the global error timeout for alerts

@mamutuberalles

looks like there are a multitude of errors even though they are all kind of false positives.
Is there a way to set the global timeout for this Error state to be a larger value? For example 5 minutes, so my prometheus can restart and read its WAL without alerts flooding my channel?
If there is a way to set this value can you point me there?

Beside changing the NoData/Error state, you could also implement a notification policy to handle the DataSourceError alerts for the alert rule or for all alert rules. Then, configure the notification policy to decide how to group the DataSourceError alerts and when to deliver them.
