There is no way to handle it. That is how our user/stock configs work (not health only).

@jurgenhaas there is something you can do. If the file contains several alarms and you want to overwrite only one, you can:
- copy the stock config
- make changes in the alarm
- remove other alarms
- rename the file (add
my_prefix, e.gcpu.conf=>my_cpu.conf)
So netdata loads both user/my_cpu.conf and stock/cpu.conf, but uses that one alarm from the user/my_cpu.conf.
