Summary

Fixes #69623

Metric threshold and inventory alerts will now generate alert instance IDs using only group instead of uuid and group. This was creating problems with throttling and stability for users with multiple Kibana instances.

It turns out we didn't need a unique uuid to differentiate alert instances. Multiple alerts can create an instance named * without stepping on each other; what matters is that the ID is unique within an alert itself.

This PR also updates the Alerts plugin readme to clarify this.

To test:

  • Create a metric alert that with a throttle period (make sure it will definitely fire)
  • Go to Alert Management and wait for it to generate instances
  • Restart Kibana (try just adding // to a file to force a server restart)
  • Refresh the Alert Management page
  • Ensure that the same instances are there, and that the Duration field hasn't reset

Hi @Zacqary Should this be included in the 7.9.0 release notes? I don't see it listed here: https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/0afaba21b39709739086e2aaa3a88a8a1bea855b/docs/CHANGELOG.asciidoc
