Query Explanation

This alert uses the absent() function to detect if the Prometheus server is no longer scraping its own 'up' metric. The alert triggers when no series for up{job="prometheus"} can be found, indicating that the Prometheus instance itself has stopped running, crashed, or its self-scraping configuration is broken.
