If you are not familiar with the oc command, refer to OpenShift - Getting Started with the oc command.

Alert Manager, as the name implies, does things like receive alerts from a client (such as Prometheus) and routing alerts to certain targets, such as an SMTP email server or OpsGenie. Alert Manager also has some features such as being able to silence alerts for a period of time.

In the openshift-monitoring namespace, there should be one or more alertmanager pods.

~]$ oc get pods --namespace openshift-monitoring
NAME                       READY   STATUS    RESTARTS        AGE
alertmanager-main-0        6/6     Running   0               6d10h
alertmanager-main-1        6/6     Running   1 (6d10h ago)   6d10h

The oc exec command can be used to run the amtool CLI in one of the alertmanager pods. The amtool silence command can be used to list the silenced alerts. 

~]$ oc exec pod/alertmanager-main-0 --namespace openshift-monitoring -- amtool silence --alertmanager.url="http://localhost:9093"
ID                                    Matchers                     Ends At                  Created By  Comment                                     
d86e8aa8-91f3-463d-a34a-daf530682f38  alertname="FluentdNodeDown"  2024-01-20 09:29:29 UTC  john.doe    temporarily silencing this alert for 1 day

Or, the amtool alert command with the --silenced flag can be used.

~]$ oc exec pod/alertmanager-main-0 --namespace openshift-monitoring -- amtool --alertmanager.url="http://localhost:9093" alert --silenced
ID                                    Matchers                     Ends At                  Created By  Comment                                     
d86e8aa8-91f3-463d-a34a-daf530682f38  alertname="FluentdNodeDown"  2024-01-20 09:29:29 UTC  john.doe    temporarily silencing this alert for 1 day
