Thanks for your report. Would you be able to take and upload a profile with http://alertmanager/debug/pprof/heap when the memory is high and provide it to us ?

Hello, Somehow the heap dump does not seem to help. I see only a few megabytes of memory used here. I will try to reproduce this on my side asap.

i did not have the chance yet. maybe you can come up with a pprof that shows the issue ? the one that was sent previously was not really conclusive.

The cost to have it configurable in AM is quite low vs the cost to actually change reverse proxies config

We have discussed it during the Alertmanager working group. Now that Alertmanager supports basic auth, we are open to adding basic auth user and http header as creator for silences.

Hello, "basic auth user and http header" In a SSO setup, the user will likely be passed on as a HTTP header so this is covered.

I am wondering if we should add the extra helper function or not. It is really case by case if it should be read from file because we want to...

Maybe we can write a new nflog where we remove the duplicates as well as part of some garbage collection process.

Attempt to fix #2961

@gotjosh We have ran this and noticed a 30% memory decrease with alertmanager with low repeat interval. Any chances to get this merged?
