Alertmanager
The Alertmanager handles alerts sent by client applications such as the Prometheus server. It takes care of deduplicating, grouping, and routing them to the correct receiver integrations such as email, PagerDuty, OpsGenie, or many other mechanisms thanks to the webhook receiver. It also takes care of silencing and inhibition of alerts.
Install
There are various ways of installing Alertmanager.
Precompiled binaries
Precompiled binaries for released versions are available in the download section on prometheus.io. Using the latest production release binary is the recommended way of installing Alertmanager.
Docker images
Docker images are available on Quay.io or Docker Hub.
You can launch an Alertmanager container for trying it out with
$ docker run --name alertmanager -d -p 127.0.0.1:9093:9093 quay.io/prometheus/alertmanager
Alertmanager will now be reachable at http://localhost:9093/.
Compiling the binary
You can either go get
it:
$ GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=1 go get github.com/prometheus/alertmanager/cmd/...
# cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/prometheus/alertmanager
$ alertmanager --config.file=<your_file>
Or clone the repository and build manually:
$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/prometheus
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/prometheus
$ git clone https://github.com/prometheus/alertmanager.git
$ cd alertmanager
$ make build
$ ./alertmanager --config.file=<your_file>
You can also build just one of the binaries in this repo by passing a name to the build function:
$ make build BINARIES=amtool
Example
This is an example configuration that should cover most relevant aspects of the new YAML configuration format. The full documentation of the configuration can be found here.
global:
# The smarthost and SMTP sender used for mail notifications.
smtp_smarthost: 'localhost:25'
smtp_from: 'alertmanager@example.org'
# The root route on which each incoming alert enters.
route:
# The root route must not have any matchers as it is the entry point for
# all alerts. It needs to have a receiver configured so alerts that do not
# match any of the sub-routes are sent to someone.
receiver: 'team-X-mails'
# The labels by which incoming alerts are grouped together. For example,
# multiple alerts coming in for cluster=A and alertname=LatencyHigh would
# be batched into a single group.
#
# To aggregate by all possible labels use '...' as the sole label name.
# This effectively disables aggregation entirely, passing through all
# alerts as-is. This is unlikely to be what you want, unless you have
# a very low alert volume or your upstream notification system performs
# its own grouping. Example: group_by: [...]
group_by: ['alertname', 'cluster']
# When a new group of alerts is created by an incoming alert, wait at
# least 'group_wait' to send the initial notification.
# This way ensures that you get multiple alerts for the same group that start
# firing shortly after another are batched together on the first
# notification.
group_wait: 30s
# When the first notification was sent, wait 'group_interval' to send a batch
# of new alerts that started firing for that group.
group_interval: 5m
# If an alert has successfully been sent, wait 'repeat_interval' to
# resend them.
repeat_interval: 3h
# All the above attributes are inherited by all child routes and can
# overwritten on each.
# The child route trees.
routes:
# This route performs a regular expression match on alert labels to
# catch alerts that are related to a list of services.
- matchers:
- service=~"^(foo1|foo2|baz)$"
receiver: team-X-mails
# The service has a sub-route for critical alerts, any alerts
# that do not match, i.e. severity != critical, fall-back to the
# parent node and are sent to 'team-X-mails'
routes:
- matchers:
- severity="critical"
receiver: team-X-pager
- matchers:
- service="files"
receiver: team-Y-mails
routes:
- matchers:
- severity="critical"
receiver: team-Y-pager
# This route handles all alerts coming from a database service. If there's
# no team to handle it, it defaults to the DB team.
- matchers:
- service="database"
receiver: team-DB-pager
# Also group alerts by affected database.
group_by: [alertname, cluster, database]
routes:
- matchers:
- owner="team-X"
receiver: team-X-pager
- matchers:
- owner="team-Y"
receiver: team-Y-pager
# Inhibition rules allow to mute a set of alerts given that another alert is
# firing.
# We use this to mute any warning-level notifications if the same alert is
# already critical.
inhibit_rules:
- source_matchers:
- severity="critical"
target_matchers:
- severity="warning"
# Apply inhibition if the alertname is the same.
# CAUTION:
# If all label names listed in `equal` are missing
# from both the source and target alerts,
# the inhibition rule will apply!

API
The current Alertmanager API is version 2. This API is fully generated via the OpenAPI project and Go Swagger with the exception of the HTTP handlers themselves. The API specification can be found in api/v2/openapi.yaml. A HTML rendered version can be accessed here. Clients can be easily generated via any OpenAPI generator for all major languages.
With the default config, endpoints are accessed under a /api/v1
or /api/v2
prefix.
The v2 /status
endpoint would be /api/v2/status
. If --web.route-prefix
is set then API routes are
prefixed with that as well, so --web.route-prefix=/alertmanager/
would
relate to /alertmanager/api/v2/status
.
API v2 is still under heavy development and thereby subject to change.
amtool
amtool
is a cli tool for interacting with the Alertmanager API. It is bundled with all releases of Alertmanager.
Install
Alternatively you can install with:
$ go install github.com/prometheus/alertmanager/cmd/amtool@latest

Try out how a template works. Let's say you have this in your configuration file:
templates:
- '/foo/bar/*.tmpl'
Then you can test out how a template would look like with example by using this command:
amtool template render --template.glob='/foo/bar/*.tmpl' --template.text='{{ template "slack.default.markdown.v1" . }}'
Configuration
amtool
allows a configuration file to specify some options for convenience. The default configuration file paths are $HOME/.config/amtool/config.yml
or /etc/amtool/config.yml
An example configuration file might look like the following:
# Define the path that `amtool` can find your `alertmanager` instance
alertmanager.url: "http://localhost:9093"
# Override the default author. (unset defaults to your username)
author: me@example.com
# Force amtool to give you an error if you don't include a comment on a silence
comment_required: true
# Set a default output format. (unset defaults to simple)
output: extended
# Set a default receiver
receiver: team-X-pager
Routes
amtool
allows you to visualize the routes of your configuration in form of text tree view.
Also you can use it to test the routing by passing it label set of an alert
and it prints out all receivers the alert would match ordered and separated by ,
.
(If you use --verify.receivers
amtool returns error code 1 on mismatch)
Example of usage:
# View routing tree of remote Alertmanager
$ amtool config routes --alertmanager.url=http://localhost:9090
# Test if alert matches expected receiver
$ amtool config routes test --config.file=doc/examples/simple.yml --tree --verify.receivers=team-X-pager service=database owner=team-X
High Availability
Alertmanager's high availability is in production use at many companies and is enabled by default.
Important: Both UDP and TCP are needed in alertmanager 0.15 and higher for the cluster to work.
- If you are using a firewall, make sure to whitelist the clustering port for both protocols.
- If you are running in a container, make sure to expose the clustering port for both protocols.
To create a highly available cluster of the Alertmanager the instances need to
be configured to communicate with each other. This is configured using the
--cluster.*
flags.
--cluster.listen-address
string: cluster listen address (default "0.0.0.0:9094"; empty string disables HA mode)--cluster.advertise-address
string: cluster advertise address--cluster.peer
value: initial peers (repeat flag for each additional peer)--cluster.peer-timeout
value: peer timeout period (default "15s")--cluster.gossip-interval
value: cluster message propagation speed (default "200ms")--cluster.pushpull-interval
value: lower values will increase convergence speeds at expense of bandwidth (default "1m0s")--cluster.settle-timeout
value: maximum time to wait for cluster connections to settle before evaluating notifications.--cluster.tcp-timeout
value: timeout value for tcp connections, reads and writes (default "10s")--cluster.probe-timeout
value: time to wait for ack before marking node unhealthy (default "500ms")--cluster.probe-interval
value: interval between random node probes (default "1s")--cluster.reconnect-interval
value: interval between attempting to reconnect to lost peers (default "10s")--cluster.reconnect-timeout
value: length of time to attempt to reconnect to a lost peer (default: "6h0m0s")--cluster.label
value: the label is an optional string to include on each packet and stream. It uniquely identifies the cluster and prevents cross-communication issues when sending gossip messages (default:"")
The chosen port in the cluster.listen-address
flag is the port that needs to be
specified in the cluster.peer
flag of the other peers.
The cluster.advertise-address
flag is required if the instance doesn't have
an IP address that is part of RFC 6890
with a default route.
To start a cluster of three peers on your local machine use goreman
and the
Procfile within this repository.
goreman start
To point your Prometheus 1.4, or later, instance to multiple Alertmanagers, configure them
in your prometheus.yml
configuration file, for example:
alerting:
alertmanagers:
- static_configs:
- targets:
- alertmanager1:9093
- alertmanager2:9093
- alertmanager3:9093
Important: Do not load balance traffic between Prometheus and its Alertmanagers, but instead point Prometheus to a list of all Alertmanagers. The Alertmanager implementation expects all alerts to be sent to all Alertmanagers to ensure high availability.
Turn off high availability
If running Alertmanager in high availability mode is not desired, setting --cluster.listen-address=
prevents Alertmanager from listening to incoming peer requests.
