Goal

We want to be able to track alerts that are firing on hosted clusters like we do for all other clusters.

See tread https://redhat-internal.slack.com/archives/CEG5ZJQ1G/p1708501707940669?thread_ts=1708448823.691509&cid=CEG5ZJQ1G

alerts are added to the list of metrics t o collect:
https://github.com/openshift/cluster-monitoring-operator/blob/master/Documentation/data-collection.md

    # alerts are the key summarization of the system state. They are reported
    # via telemetry to assess their value in detecting upgrade failure causes
    # and also to prevent the need to gather large sets of metrics that are
    # already summarized on the cluster.  Reporting alerts also creates an
    # incentive to improve per cluster alerting for the purposes of preventing
    # upgrades from failing for end users.
    #
    # consumers: (@openshift/openshift-team-olm, @openshift/openshift-team-cluster-manager)
    - '{__name__="ALERTS",alertstate="firing"}'

We need to add them as well to HCP metrics collection list

Why is this important?

We track all alerts, so that we can have visibility on issues that are happening in clusters. Both internal and external clusters. We need to be able to do that also for hosted clusters.
