Description Justin Pierce 2018-08-09 21:04:44 UTC 
Description of problem:
When an external receiver receives an alert from prometheus/am, e.g. slack, the link to the alert looks something like: 
https://alertmanager-main-openshift-monitoring.1b7d.free-stg.openshiftapps.com/#/alerts?receiver=slack

The link does focus the browser on the specific alert that the user clicked.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.14.0

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure prometheus to alert a slack channel
2.
3.

Actual results:
The link submitted into the slack channel will send a user back to the alertmanager, but with not focus on the the alert they were interested in. The user will always go to the top of the page.

Expected results:
The link should send the user to the alert manager & focus the browser window on the alert they clicked in slack (potentially briefly highlighting it visually). If the alert is no longer firing, alert manager could briefly display that the alert is no longer available. 

Additional info:
This is a significant usability issue on a cluster with a sizable number of alerts.
