Currently I am running alertmanager version 0.25.0, and I am making changes/modifications directly in the alertmanager.yml file, this is the file containing the information I shared in my initial inquiry. Or are referring to another file? I updated my routes config to match what you recommended but, email notifications are still getting sent to all emails in the alertmanager.yml file regardless of the receiver they are associated with. What I am trying to accomplish is a custom alert/notification for each receiver.
Let's say I have Team A receiver for Team A resources and Team B receiver for Team B resources, I want to isolate the notifications for each team. Neither team should be aware of or get notified about the other teams resources. How can I accomplish that? What modifications should I make to my alertmanager.yml file? Also, do I need to make any modifications to my alert.rules.yml file or any other file that is? Please let me know if you need any additional information.
