do you know any built-in mechanism to add comment to an alert event ?  I
want to be able to add troubleshooting notes & resolution & misc notes.
It'd be great (dreamily) that a gmail-style label can be applied to any
(current or historical) event, so one can retrieve 'db temp table problem'
label and gets alerts (and their associated outage, notes, comments) in one
place. This become a knowledge capture device (Doesn't a hobbit desire to
gather stuff?)

The only way I know now is to acknowledge an alert when it is still active.
