Issue Reference

Closes OpsiMate/OpsiMate#1248


What Was Changed

In opsimate-docs/docs/alerts/root-cause-api.md:

  • The sentence under Which alert now says resolving an alert keeps its analysis, but firing again under the same id hides it.
  • New One analysis per episode section: when a resolved alert fires again under the same id, GET .../root-cause returns 200 with rootCause: null and the rating endpoint returns 404. A new PUT replaces the hidden analysis, its feedback URLs and rating. Unresolving from the UI and repeated firing pushes while still firing are not a new episode.
  • Ratings: the 404 bullet also covers the hidden-after-re-fire case.
  • What operators see: the section also disappears when a resolved alert fires again, until a new analysis arrives.

Why Was It Changed

The page listed only deletion and retention as ways an analysis goes away. The server also hides it when the alert fires again (rootCause.bl.ts hideForRefiredAlerts, rootCauseRepository.ts supersede), so a sender could see rootCause: null or a 404 with no explanation.


Screenshots

Previewed locally with npm run build and docusaurus serve (Node 22); the build succeeds.

- Around line 19-25: Clarify the final sentence in the “One analysis per
episode” section by identifying repeated firing requests as calls to
/api/v1/alerts/custom, distinguishing them from repeated root-cause PUT requests
while preserving the existing behavior.
