Datadogs UI for alerting monitors also shows muted ones without an option to filter, which leads to overhead / confusion when trying to track down what exactly is down.
So we added an alerts task to kennel that lists all unmuted alerts and since when they are alerting, it also shows alerts that have no-data warnings even though Datadog UI shows them as not alerting.
