Alert policies to target observability HTTP monitors
When configuring an alert policy for an Observability (Synthetic Monitoring) HTTP monitor, there is no way to target alerts from specific HTTP monitors to send notifications to a subset of users. The alert policy applies to all monitors/alerts across the namespace.
If I have two monitors for applications managed by different teams, I want an alert policy to alert Team 1 for app 1, and Team 2 for app2.
I don't want to have to create these in separate namespaces as this makes manageability hard.

A solution to this would be to create a Know Label and assign the Key/Value to each HTTTP monitor according to which team or alerting method is required (SMS or e-mail etc).
Then in the Alert Policy, a policy rule can be created that uses Matching Custom Criteria to match the HTTP Monitor with the appropriate Known Label Key/Value.
