#### A watchdog alerting on alertmanager notification failures.

COS Alerter is a watchdog used to alert on alertmanager notification failures.
By leveraging an always-firing alert rule routed specifically to cos-alerter, you'll
be alerted if the pings stop happening - meaning your alertmanager is likely malfunctioning.
