Poem

🐇 Hop hop, the docs are here at last,
A guide to alerts, from future to past!
PrometheusRules labeled just right,
Grafana dashboards glowing with light.
Clean up when done — no mess shall remain,
The rabbit hops onward to document again! 🌟

Check name	Status	Explanation	Resolution
Title check	❓ Inconclusive	The title 'Alert' is vague and overly generic, failing to convey meaningful information about the substantial documentation addition for PostgreSQL alerting configuration.	Revise the title to be more descriptive, such as 'Add PostgreSQL monitoring alerting guide with Prometheus and Grafana setup' or similar, to clearly communicate the primary change.
