[Feature] Allow editing existing alerts #618

Description

@ccesario

Describe the feature

Please add an option to edit previously configured alerts under Automation > Alerts.

Currently, an existing alert only provides the following actions:

  • Enable or disable the alert
  • Delete the alert

There is no option to modify its existing configuration.

An Edit action should be added, allowing the user to open the alert configuration with the current values already populated and update fields such as:

  • Alert name
  • Resource or scope
  • Monitored metric
  • Threshold
  • Notification recipients
  • Other alert conditions

The updated configuration should be saved without requiring the alert to be deleted and recreated.

Use Case

Alert settings often need to be adjusted after they are created. For example, an administrator may need to change the CPU threshold, notification recipients, monitored scope, or alert name.

Currently, changing any of these settings requires deleting the existing alert and creating a new one from scratch.

This creates unnecessary administrative work and increases the risk of:

  • Recreating the alert with incorrect settings
  • Temporarily leaving the environment without monitoring
  • Losing the original alert configuration
  • Creating duplicate alerts

Alternatives considered

The current workaround is to disable or delete the existing alert and manually create a new alert with the updated settings.

How important is this for you?
