Alertmanager: Unable to edit a silence expiry time

Created on 22 Nov 2016 · 6Comments · Source: prometheus/alertmanager

To reproduce:

Create a silence
Hit the 'EDIT' button
Change the 'End' time
Hit the 'CREATE' button

Expected result: silence's expiry time changes

Actual result: a red error message: "unexpected ID in new silence"

(this happens in Chrome or Firefox; does not appear to be browser version-dependent)

Hey folks,

The alertmanager ui is being reworked, which will come with working edit buttons (!). Unfortunately I don't have a date when to expect this to be available, but it is currently under active development.

Which version of Alertmanager are you using? At the time where you hit the edit button, is the silence active?

I have the same issue here using alertmanager-0.5.1.linux-amd64
the silence was active during the edit (I was trying to extend the silence duration)

Same situation here, exactly same as @meier-christoph describes.

Getting the same error when I try to edit a silence with latest master.

Closing here as the new UI has been merged into master. @leonerd please reopen if you are still facing this issue with the new UI. Thanks a lot for the bug report.
