Description of problem:

Received alerts from the two prometheus pods:
openshift-monitoring/prometheus-k8s-0 has failed to evaluate 10 rules in the last 5m.

openshift-monitoring/prometheus-k8s-1 has failed to evaluate 10 rules in the last 5m.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
OpenShift 4.9.10
CNV 4.9.1

How reproducible:
Unsure, but error occurs continually. This is on an upgraded cluster (4.8 -> 4.9.) Not sure if it can be reproduced on a fresh cluster

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have cluster running latest CNV, and OpenShift v4.8.22
2. Upgrade cluster to 4.9.10

Actual results:
Cluster begins firing alerts failing to evaluate a prometheus rule.

Expected results:
Prometheus happily evaluates all the CNV alerting rules

Additional info:
The alert that is specifically failing is KubeVirtComponentExceedsRequestedMemory.

The error is:
found duplicate series for the match group

The contents of the rule:
Expression

((kube_pod_container_resource_requests

{container=~"virt-controller|virt-api|virt-handler|virt-operator",namespace="openshift-cnv",resource="memory"}) - on(pod) group_left(node) container_memory_usage_bytes{namespace="openshift-cnv"}) < 0

Testing that rule in the alerting dashboard also returns the error.

NOTE: the similarly named KubeVirtComponentExceedsRequestedCPU does not appear to be failing, and is slightly different:

((kube_pod_container_resource_requests{container=~"virt-controller|virt-api|virt-handler|virt-operator",namespace="openshift-cnv",resource="cpu"}) - on(pod) group_left(node) node_namespace_pod_container:container_cpu_usage_seconds_total:sum_rate{namespace="openshift-cnv"}) < 0

Noting the difference after 'group_left(node)...', I tried replacing `container_memory_usage_bytes{namespace="openshift-cnv"}` with `node_namespace_pod_container:container_memory_working_set_bytes:sum_rate{namespace="openshift-cnv"}` in the rule and testing in the alerting console returns no error. So

((kube_pod_container_resource_requests{container=~"virt-controller|virt-api|virt-handler|virt-operator",namespace="openshift-cnv",resource="memory"}

) - on(pod) group_left(node) node_namespace_pod_container:container_memory_working_set_bytes:sum_rate

{namespace="openshift-cnv"}

) < 0

seems to work as expected.
