summary

MZCLD-3668 tracks a Grafana/Yardstick alerting hygiene fix: 13 PagerDuty contact points are currently reachable only because individual alert rules hard-code them via `notification_settings.receiver`, bypassing the notification policy tree entirely. This makes them invisible to anyone auditing routing config and puts them at risk of being silently broken during PagerDuty key rotations (this is exactly how the issue was discovered, while closing OPST-2460). The ticket explicitly scopes itself as the same class of fix already being done in MZCLD-3140 (drop the contact-point override, add `team=mozcloud` + `severity` labels, add `runbook_url`), applied here to a distinct set of 13 rules, with no intended changes to MZCLD-3140 itself. The ticket is still in Backlog with no comments, so this is a straightforward status/scope confirmation and readiness check rather than a technical ambiguity.

findings

• Root cause is a known anti-pattern already being remediated elsewhere
• Issue was discovered as a side effect of operational work, indicating real audit/rotation risk
• Fix pattern and acceptance criteria are already well-defined, reducing ambiguity for whoever picks this up
• Scope is explicitly bounded to avoid overlap/regression with the in-flight MZCLD-3140 work
• Ticket is currently unworked: Backlog status, zero comments, no linked runbook/design doc referenced in the ticket text
• Verification step needed before closing: paging-behavior parity for all 13 rules must be validated post-change

proposed actions

Triage note: This looks well-scoped and ready to work — no blockers identified.

- Confirmed root cause: 13 Yardstick alert rules reference PagerDuty contact points directly via `notification_settings.receiver`, so they never appear in the notification policy tree and are effectively invisible to routing audits/key-rotation reviews (as found while closing OPST-2460).
- Confirmed this follows the same remediation pattern as MZCLD-3140 (drop the override, add `team=mozcloud` + `severity` labels, add `runbook_url`), applied here as an independent scope with no changes intended to MZCLD-3140 itself.
- Before starting: recommend building a simple before/after table of the 13 rules — old hard-coded receiver -> new team/severity labels -> matching policy route -> resulting contact point — to make it easy to verify the 'paging behaviour unchanged' acceptance criterion per-rule, and to allow a quick side-by-side review.
- Suggest validating each updated rule with a test alert or Grafana's notification policy 'preview routing' (if available) before merging, since a labeling mistake here would silently break paging rather than fail loudly.
- No linked runbook/design doc found on this ticket; if MZCLD-3140 has a runbook or checklist used for its fixes, linking it here would help whoever picks this up move faster and keep the two efforts consistent.
- Recommend moving to 'Ready'/sprint backlog given the clear acceptance criteria; no open questions blocking pickup.

Problem.  13 PagerDuty contact points in Yardstick are reachable  only  through alert rules that name them directly in  notification_settings.receiver . They do not appear anywhere in the notification policy tree, which means: anyone reading the routing configuration cannot see that they are live; they are the contact points most likely to be missed during a key rotation or an alert-routing audit. Ask.  For each of the 13, remove the contact-point override from the referencing alert rules and express the routing through the notification policy using  team  +  severity  labels instead. Acceptance criteria. No PagerDuty contact point is reachable solely via a hard-coded rule reference. The affected alert rules route through the notification policy. Paging behaviour is unchanged \u2014 anything that paged before still pages, to the same destination. Note: this is the same anti-pattern MZCLD-3140 is cleaning up, and the standard fix there (drop the contact-point override, add  team=mozcloud  +  severity , add  runbook_url ) applies. Recorded here as its own scope; no change to MZCLD-3140 itself is intended.",
