vpshere serial is permafailing on `[sig-instrumentation][Late] Alerts shouldn't report any unexpected alerts in firing or pending state`, with TargetDown alerts for various components. - This started around 5/11, which is when https://github.com/openshift/origin/pull/26917 ended up in the first payload - TargetDown alerts always happens directly after the etcd vertical scale test. Example run: https://prow.ci.openshift.org/view/gcs/origin-ci-test/logs/periodic-ci-openshift-release-master-nightly-4.11-e2e-vsphere-serial/1532975513713250304 If you look at the intervals chart filtered by "TargetDown|vertical" you can see the behavior. This happens on every vsphere serial job.
https://github.com/openshift/origin/pull/27236 disables the test on vsphere, and it passed vsphere-serial. This does seem to be the problem.
Setting back to new, the merged PR was just disabling it temporarily.
