yaml: line 7: mapping values are not allowed in this context

How to fix this issue.

[ducmanh86]

you can update new config of alert.rules like below:

groups:
- name: PM2 Alert
  rules:
  - alert: APIHighMedianResponseTime
    expr: histogram_quantile(0.5, sum(rate(http_request_duration_ms_bucket[1m])) by (le, service, route, method)) > 100
    for: 60s
    annotations:
      summary: "High median response time on {{ $labels.service }} and {{ $labels.method }} {{ $labels.route }}"
      description: "{{ $labels.service }}, {{ $labels.method }} {{ $labels.route }} has a median response time above 100ms (current value: {{ $value }}ms)"

Created a PR #8 containing @ducmanh86 alert.rules example. Verified with prom/prometheus v2.1.0.

In addition, I have created PR #9 and have added my thoughts in that PR about potentially branching the Repo.
