Alerts not being sent upon failure(s)

[blhblah1]

Describe what happened When tests are executed via the CI/CD tunneled command even when tests have alerting options enabled the alerts (slack/email) are not being sent.

Steps to reproduce the issue: 📝 1. Add alert destinations to a test 2. Execute test via datadog-ci (tunneled/untunneled) and upon test failure no alerts are sent

Expected behaviour: 📝 1. Alerts should be sent upon test failure no matter how the test is executed

Actual behaviour: 📝 1. No alerts are sent upon test failure

Hi @blhblah1, right now we do not alert on Synthetic test run failures in the CI. The reason for this is that we don't want to cause alert fatigue alongside CI/CD provider notifications.

If you could it would be great if you could raise a feature request through the Datadog Support Platform, that way we can track your needs/use case and prioritize this work in the future.

I have an existing support ticket that was asking the same question as to why I was not receiving the alerts that are set in the tests when using datadog-ci so I asked in there to add the ability to have the alerts sent. Would it be possible to add a flag option to datadog-ci to have alerts sent? This would really be helpful for our use case.
