+#### Inhibit notes ####
+## Example of expressions to detect if the target_down alert
+# fired in the last 24 hours. Initially, I thought his could
+# be an alert which inhibits up_resets, but eventually I figured
+# that doesn't make much sense, and the idea of using an alert
+# that is not an indication of something wrong, only inhibits another
+# alert, I think works better to integrate directly into the
+# alert it would inhibit, this may mean a recording rule. That avoids
+# an alert we have to ignore or filter out.
+#
+# Alternate expression, to calculate if the alert would have fired is:
+# min_over_time(sum_over_time(up[30m])[1d:]) == 0
+# where 30m matches the for: time in target_down
+#
+# Note: for graphing, surround in the expression in sum_over_time()
+# ALERTS{alertname="target_down",alertstate="firing"}[1d]
+#### end Inhibit notes ####
