Conditionally Group Alerts into Topology Resource Groups

We need to be able to apply filters to received alerts to allow them to be conditionally associated with Resource Groups.
Our Resource Groups align more closely with incident assignees and contain resources that can be considered "infrastructure" as well as "application specific". We can build Resource Groups that correctly reflect this but they overlap, and so when alerts are received for one or other type of issue they're "super-grouped" together into a single incident, where we would prefer to be able to distinguish them.

As an initial capability this could be by simple alert property filtering ("If alert.summary contains X,Y,Z THEN apply to resource group A" although we would also need "...And DO NOT apply to resource group B" capability to make this work for our scenarios).

    Hi @Guest , we are making improvements to our topological correlation techniques to improve things such as super grouping. If you need more details I can work with you to set up a time with @Stephane Millar and @Matthew Duggan to walk you through some of the upcoming changes.
