# Configuration
[Alertmanager](https://github.com/prometheus/alertmanager) is configured via
command-line flags and a configuration file.
While the command-line flags configure immutable system parameters, the
configuration file defines inhibition rules, notification routing and
notification receivers.
The [visual editor](https://www.prometheus.io/webtools/alerting/routing-tree-editor)
can assist in building routing trees.
To view all available command-line flags, run `alertmanager -h`.
Alertmanager can reload its configuration at runtime. If the new configuration
is not well-formed, the changes will not be applied and an error is logged.
A configuration reload is triggered by sending a `SIGHUP` to the process or
sending an HTTP POST request to the `/-/reload` endpoint.
## Limits
Alertmanager supports a number of configurable limits via command-line flags.
To limit the maximum number of silences, including expired ones,
use the `--silences.max-silences` flag.
You can limit the maximum size of individual silences with `--silences.max-per-silence-bytes`,
where the unit is in bytes.
Both limits are disabled by default.
## Configuration file introduction
To specify which configuration file to load, use the `--config.file` flag.
```bash
./alertmanager --config.file=alertmanager.yml
```
The file is written in the [YAML format](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML),
defined by the scheme described below.
Brackets indicate that a parameter is optional. For non-list parameters the
value is set to the specified default.
Generic placeholders are defined as follows:
* `<duration>`: a duration matching the regular expression `((([0-9]+)y)?(([0-9]+)w)?(([0-9]+)d)?(([0-9]+)h)?(([0-9]+)m)?(([0-9]+)s)?(([0-9]+)ms)?|0)`, e.g. `1d`, `1h30m`, `5m`, `10s`
* `<labelname>`: a string matching the regular expression `[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*`
* `<labelvalue>`: a string of unicode characters
* `<filepath>`: a valid path in the current working directory
* `<boolean>`: a boolean that can take the values `true` or `false`
* `<string>`: a regular string
* `<secret>`: a regular string that is a secret, such as a password
* `<tmpl_string>`: a string which is template-expanded before usage
* `<tmpl_secret>`: a string which is template-expanded before usage that is a secret
* `<int>`: an integer value
* `<regex>`: any valid [RE2 regular expression](https://github.com/google/re2/wiki/Syntax) (The regex is anchored on both ends. To un-anchor the regex, use `.*<regex>.*`.)
The other placeholders are specified separately.
A provided [valid example file](https://github.com/prometheus/alertmanager/blob/main/doc/examples/simple.yml)
shows usage in context.
## File layout and global settings
The global configuration specifies parameters that are valid in all other
configuration contexts. They also serve as defaults for other configuration
sections. The other top-level sections are documented below on this page.
```yaml
global:
# The default SMTP From header field.
[ smtp_from: <tmpl_string> ]

time_intervals:
[ - <time_interval> ... ]
```
## Route-related settings
Routing-related settings allow configuring how alerts are routed, aggregated, throttled, and muted based on time.
### `<route>`
A route block defines a node in a routing tree and its children. Its optional
configuration parameters are inherited from its parent node if not set.
Every alert enters the routing tree at the configured top-level route, which
must match all alerts (i.e. not have any configured matchers).
It then traverses the child nodes. If `continue` is set to false, it stops
after the first matching child. If `continue` is true on a matching node, the
alert will continue matching against subsequent siblings.
If an alert does not match any children of a node (no matching child nodes, or
none exist), the alert is handled based on the configuration parameters of the
current node.
See [Alertmanager concepts](https://prometheus.io/docs/alerting/alertmanager/#grouping) for more information on grouping.
```yaml
[ receiver: <string> ]
# 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 the special value '...' as the sole label name, for example:
# group_by: ['...']
# 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.
[ group_by: '[' <labelname>, ... ']' ]
# Whether an alert should continue matching subsequent sibling nodes.
[ continue: <boolean> | default = false ]
# DEPRECATED: Use matchers below.
# A set of equality matchers an alert has to fulfill to match the node.
match:
[ <labelname>: <labelvalue>, ... ]
# DEPRECATED: Use matchers below.
# A set of regex-matchers an alert has to fulfill to match the node.
match_re:
[ <labelname>: <regex>, ... ]
# A list of matchers that an alert has to fulfill to match the node.
matchers:
[ - <matcher> ... ]
# How long to initially wait to send a notification for a group
# of alerts. Allows to wait for an inhibiting alert to arrive or collect
# more initial alerts for the same group. (Usually ~0s to few minutes.)
# If omitted, child routes inherit the group_wait of the parent route.
[ group_wait: <duration> | default = 30s ]
# How long to wait before sending a notification about new alerts that
# are added to a group of alerts for which an initial notification has
# already been sent. (Usually ~5m or more.) If omitted, child routes
# inherit the group_interval of the parent route.
[ group_interval: <duration> | default = 5m ]
# How long to wait before sending a notification again if it has already
# been sent successfully for an alert. (Usually ~3h or more). If omitted,
# child routes inherit the repeat_interval of the parent route.
# Note that this parameter is implicitly bound by Alertmanager's
# `--data.retention` configuration flag. Notifications will be resent after either
# repeat_interval or the data retention period have passed, whichever
# occurs first. `repeat_interval` should be a multiple of `group_interval`.
[ repeat_interval: <duration> | default = 4h ]
# Times when the route should be muted. These must match the name of a
# mute time interval defined in the mute_time_intervals section.
# Additionally, the root node cannot have any mute times.
# When a route is muted it will not send any notifications, but
# otherwise acts normally (including ending the route-matching process
# if the `continue` option is not set.)
mute_time_intervals:
[ - <string> ...]
# Times when the route should be active. These must match the name of a
# time interval defined in the time_intervals section. An empty value
# means that the route is always active.
# Additionally, the root node cannot have any active times.
# The route will send notifications only when active, but otherwise
# acts normally (including ending the route-matching process
# if the `continue` option is not set).
active_time_intervals:
[ - <string> ...]
# Zero or more child routes.
routes:
[ - <route> ... ]
```
#### Example
```yaml
# The root route with all parameters, which are inherited by the child
# routes if they are not overwritten.
route:
receiver: 'default-receiver'
group_wait: 30s
group_interval: 5m
repeat_interval: 4h
group_by: [cluster, alertname]
# All alerts that do not match the following child routes
# will remain at the root node and be dispatched to 'default-receiver'.
routes:
# All alerts with service=mysql or service=cassandra
# are dispatched to the database pager.
- receiver: 'database-pager'
group_wait: 10s
matchers:
- service=~"mysql|cassandra"
# All alerts with the team=frontend label match this sub-route.
# They are grouped by product and environment rather than cluster
# and alertname.
- receiver: 'frontend-pager'
group_by: [product, environment]
matchers:
- team="frontend"
# All alerts with the service=inhouse-service label match this sub-route.
# the route will be muted during offhours and holidays time intervals.
# even if it matches, it will continue to the next sub-route
- receiver: 'dev-pager'
matchers:
- service="inhouse-service"
mute_time_intervals:
- offhours
- holidays
continue: true
# All alerts with the service=inhouse-service label match this sub-route
# the route will be active only during offhours and holidays time intervals.
- receiver: 'on-call-pager'
matchers:
- service="inhouse-service"
active_time_intervals:
- offhours
- holidays
```
### `<time_interval>`
A `time_interval` specifies a named interval of time that may be referenced
in the routing tree to mute/activate particular routes for particular times of the day.
```yaml
name: <string>
time_intervals:
[ - <time_interval_spec> ... ]
```
#### `<time_interval_spec>`
A `time_interval_spec` contains the actual definition for an interval of time. The syntax
supports the following fields:
```yaml
- times:
[ - <time_range> ...]
weekdays:
[ - <weekday_range> ...]
days_of_month:
[ - <days_of_month_range> ...]
months:
[ - <month_range> ...]
years:
[ - <year_range> ...]
location: <string>
```
All fields are lists. Within each non-empty list, at least one element must be satisfied to match
the field. If a field is left unspecified, any value will match the field. For an instant of time
to match a complete time interval, all fields must match.
Some fields support ranges and negative indices, and are detailed below. If a time zone is not
specified, then the times are taken to be in UTC.
`time_range`: Ranges inclusive of the starting time and exclusive of the end time to
make it easy to represent times that start/end on hour boundaries.
For example, `start_time: '17:00'` and `end_time: '24:00'` will begin at 17:00 and finish
immediately before 24:00. They are specified like so:
times:
- start_time: HH:MM
end_time: HH:MM
`weekday_range`: A list of days of the week, where the week begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday.
Days should be specified by name (e.g. 'Sunday'). For convenience, ranges are also accepted
of the form `<start_day>:<end_day>` and are inclusive on both ends. For example:
`['monday:wednesday','saturday', 'sunday']`
`days_of_month_range`: A list of numerical days in the month. Days begin at 1.
Negative values are also accepted which begin at the end of the month,
e.g. -1 during January would represent January 31. For example: `['1:5', '-3:-1']`.
Extending past the start or end of the month will cause it to be clamped. E.g. specifying
`['1:31']` during February will clamp the actual end date to 28 or 29 depending on leap years.
Inclusive on both ends.
`month_range`: A list of calendar months identified by a case-insensitive name (e.g. 'January') or by number,
where January = 1. Ranges are also accepted. For example, `['1:3', 'may:august', 'december']`.
Inclusive on both ends.
`year_range`: A numerical list of years. Ranges are accepted. For example, `['2020:2022', '2030']`.
Inclusive on both ends.
`location`: A string that matches a location in the IANA time zone database. For
example, `'Australia/Sydney'`. The location provides the time zone for the time
interval. For example, a time interval with a location of `'Australia/Sydney'` that
contained something like:
times:
- start_time: 09:00
end_time: 17:00
weekdays: ['monday:friday']
would include any time that fell between the hours of 9:00AM and 5:00PM, between Monday
and Friday, using the local time in Sydney, Australia.
You may also use `'Local'` as a location to use the local time of the machine where
Alertmanager is running, or `'UTC'` for UTC time. If no timezone is provided, the time
interval is taken to be in UTC time.**Note:** On Windows, only `Local` or `UTC` are
supported unless you provide a custom time zone database using the `ZONEINFO`
environment variable.
## Inhibition-related settings
Inhibition allows muting a set of alerts based on the presence of another set of
alerts. This allows establishing dependencies between systems or services such that
only the most relevant of a set of interconnected alerts are sent out during an outage.
See [Alertmanager concepts](https://prometheus.io/docs/alerting/alertmanager/#inhibition) for more information on inhibition.
### `<inhibit_rule>`
An inhibition rule mutes an alert (target) matching a set of matchers
when an alert (source) exists that matches another set of matchers.
Both target and source alerts must have the same label values
for the label names in the `equal` list.
Semantically, a missing label and a label with an empty value are the same
thing. Therefore, if all the label names listed in `equal` are missing from
both the source and target alerts, the inhibition rule will apply.
To prevent an alert from inhibiting itself, an alert that matches _both_ the
target and the source side of a rule cannot be inhibited by alerts for which
the same is true (including itself). However, we recommend to choose target and
source matchers in a way that alerts never match both sides. It is much easier
to reason about and does not trigger this special case.
```yaml
# DEPRECATED: Use target_matchers below.
# Matchers that have to be fulfilled in the alerts to be muted.
target_match:
[ <labelname>: <labelvalue>, ... ]
# DEPRECATED: Use target_matchers below.
target_match_re:
[ <labelname>: <regex>, ... ]
# A list of matchers that have to be fulfilled by the target
# alerts to be muted.
target_matchers:
[ - <matcher> ... ]
# DEPRECATED: Use source_matchers below.
# Matchers for which one or more alerts have to exist for the
# inhibition to take effect.
source_match:
[ <labelname>: <labelvalue>, ... ]
# DEPRECATED: Use source_matchers below.
source_match_re:
[ <labelname>: <regex>, ... ]
# A list of matchers for which one or more alerts have
# to exist for the inhibition to take effect.
source_matchers:
[ - <matcher> ... ]
# Labels that must have an equal value in the source and target
# alert for the inhibition to take effect.
[ equal: '[' <labelname>, ... ']' ]
```
## Label matchers
Label matchers match alerts to routes, silences, and inhibition rules.
**Important**: Prometheus is adding support for UTF-8 in labels and metrics. In order to also support UTF-8 in the Alertmanager, Alertmanager versions 0.27 and later have a new parser for matchers that has a number of backwards incompatible changes. While most matchers will be forward-compatible, some will not. Alertmanager is operating a transition period where it supports both UTF-8 and classic matchers, and has provided a number of tools to help you prepare for the transition.
If this is a new Alertmanager installation, we recommend enabling UTF-8 strict mode before creating an Alertmanager configuration file. You can find instructions on how to enable UTF-8 strict mode [here](#utf-8-strict-mode).
If this is an existing Alertmanager installation, we recommend running the Alertmanager in the default mode called fallback mode before enabling UTF-8 strict mode. In this mode, Alertmanager will log a warning if you need to make any changes to your configuration file before UTF-8 strict mode can be enabled. Alertmanager will make UTF-8 strict mode the default in the next two versions, so it's important to transition as soon as possible.
Irrespective of whether an Alertmanager installation is a new or existing installation, you can also use `amtool` to validate that an Alertmanager configuration file is compatible with UTF-8 strict mode before enabling it in Alertmanager server. You do not need a running Alertmanager server to do this. You can find instructions on how to validate an Alertmanager configuration file using `amtool` [here](#verification).
### Alertmanager server operational modes
During the transition period, Alertmanager supports three modes of operation. These are known as fallback mode, UTF-8 strict mode and classic mode. Fallback mode is the default mode.
Operators of Alertmanager servers should transition to UTF-8 strict mode before the end of the transition period. Alertmanager will make UTF-8 strict mode the default in the next two versions, so it's important to transition as soon as possible.
#### Fallback mode
Alertmanager runs in a special mode called fallback mode as its default mode. As operators, you should not experience any difference in how your routes, silences or inhibition rules work.
In fallback mode, configurations are first parsed as UTF-8 matchers, and if incompatible with the UTF-8 parser, are then parsed as classic matchers. If your Alertmanager configuration contains matchers that are incompatible with the UTF-8 parser, Alertmanager will parse them as classic matchers and log a warning. This warning also includes a suggestion on how to change the matchers from classic matchers to UTF-8 matchers. For example:
```
ts=2024-02-11T10:00:00Z caller=parse.go:176 level=warn msg="Alertmanager is moving to a new parser for labels and matchers, and this input is incompatible. Alertmanager has instead parsed the input using the classic matchers parser as a fallback. To make this input compatible with the UTF-8 matchers parser please make sure all regular expressions and values are double-quoted. If you are still seeing this message please open an issue." input="foo=" origin=config err="end of input: expected label value" suggestion="foo=\"\""
```
Here the matcher `foo=` can be made into a valid UTF-8 matcher by double quoting the right hand side of the expression to give `foo=""`. These two matchers are equivalent, however with UTF-8 matchers the right hand side of the matcher is a required field.
In rare cases, a configuration can cause disagreement between the UTF-8 and classic parser. This happens when a matcher is valid in both parsers, but due to added support for UTF-8, results in different parsings depending on which parser is used. If your Alertmanager configuration has disagreement, Alertmanager will use the classic parser and log a warning. For example:
```
ts=2024-02-11T10:00:00Z caller=parse.go:183 level=warn msg="Matchers input has disagreement" input="qux=\"\\xf0\\x9f\\x99\\x82\"\n" origin=config
```
Any occurrences of disagreement should be looked at on a case by case basis as depending on the nature of the disagreement, the configuration might not need updating before enabling UTF-8 strict mode. For example `\xf0\x9f\x99\x82` is the byte sequence for the 🙂 emoji. If the intention is to match a literal 🙂 emoji then no change is required. However, if the intention is to match the literal `\xf0\x9f\x99\x82` then the matcher should be changed to `qux="\\xf0\\x9f\\x99\\x82"`.
#### UTF-8 strict mode
In UTF-8 strict mode, Alertmanager disables support for classic matchers:
```
alertmanager --config.file=config.yml --enable-feature="utf8-strict-mode"
```
This mode should be enabled for new Alertmanager installations, and existing Alertmanager installations once all warnings of incompatible matchers have been resolved. Alertmanager will not start in UTF-8 strict mode until all the warnings of incompatible matchers have been resolved:
```
ts=2024-02-11T10:00:00Z caller=coordinator.go:118 level=error component=configuration msg="Loading configuration file failed" file=config.yml err="end of input: expected label value"
```
UTF-8 strict mode will be the default mode of Alertmanager at the end of the transition period.
#### Classic mode
Classic mode is equivalent to Alertmanager versions 0.26.0 and older:
```
alertmanager --config.file=config.yml --enable-feature="classic-mode"
```
You can use this mode if you suspect there is an issue with fallback mode or UTF-8 strict mode. In such cases, please open an issue on GitHub with as much information as possible.
### Verification
You can use `amtool` to validate that an Alertmanager configuration file is compatible with UTF-8 strict mode before enabling it in Alertmanager server. You do not need a running Alertmanager server to do this.
Just like Alertmanager server, `amtool` will log a warning if the configuration is incompatible or contains disagreement:
```
amtool check-config config.yml
Checking 'config.yml'
level=warn msg="Alertmanager is moving to a new parser for labels and matchers, and this input is incompatible. Alertmanager has instead parsed the input using the classic matchers parser as a fallback. To make this input compatible with the UTF-8 matchers parser please make sure all regular expressions and values are double-quoted. If you are still seeing this message please open an issue." input="foo=" origin=config err="end of input: expected label value" suggestion="foo=\"\""
level=warn msg="Matchers input has disagreement" input="qux=\"\\xf0\\x9f\\x99\\x82\"\n" origin=config
SUCCESS
Found:
- global config
- route
- 2 inhibit rules
- 2 receivers
- 0 templates
```
You will know if a configuration is compatible with UTF-8 strict mode when no warnings are logged in `amtool`:
```
amtool check-config config.yml
Checking 'config.yml' SUCCESS
Found:
- global config
- route
- 2 inhibit rules
- 2 receivers
- 0 templates
```
You can also use `amtool` in UTF-8 strict mode as an additional level of verification. You will know that a configuration is invalid because the command will fail:
```
amtool check-config config.yml --enable-feature="utf8-strict-mode"
level=warn msg="UTF-8 mode enabled"
Checking 'config.yml' FAILED: end of input: expected label value
amtool: error: failed to validate 1 file(s)
```
You will know that a configuration is valid because the command will succeed:
```
amtool check-config config.yml --enable-feature="utf8-strict-mode"
level=warn msg="UTF-8 mode enabled"
Checking 'config.yml' SUCCESS
Found:
- global config
- route
- 2 inhibit rules
- 2 receivers
- 0 templates
```
### `<matcher>`
#### UTF-8 matchers
A UTF-8 matcher consists of three tokens:
- An unquoted literal or a double-quoted string for the label name.
- One of `=`, `!=`, `=~`, or `!~`. `=` means equals, `!=` means not equal, `=~` means matches the regular expression and `!~` means doesn't match the regular expression.
- An unquoted literal or a double-quoted string for the regular expression or label value.
Unquoted literals can contain all UTF-8 characters other than the reserved characters. These are whitespace, and all characters in ``` { } ! = ~ , \ " ' ` ```. For example, `foo`, `[a-zA-Z]+`, and `Προμηθεύς` (Prometheus in Greek) are all examples of valid unquoted literals. However, `foo!` is not a valid literal as `!` is a reserved character.
Double-quoted strings can contain all UTF-8 characters. Unlike unquoted literals, there are no reserved characters. You can even use UTF-8 code points. For example, `"foo!"`, `"bar,baz"`, `"\"baz qux\""` and `"\xf0\x9f\x99\x82"` are valid double-quoted strings.
#### Classic matchers
A classic matcher is a string with a syntax inspired by PromQL and OpenMetrics. The syntax of a classic matcher consists of three tokens:
- A valid Prometheus label name.
- One of `=`, `!=`, `=~`, or `!~`. `=` means equals, `!=` means that the strings are not equal, `=~` is used for equality of regex expressions and `!~` is used for un-equality of regex expressions. They have the same meaning as known from PromQL selectors.
- A UTF-8 string, which may be enclosed in double quotes. Before or after each token, there may be any amount of whitespace.
The 3rd token may be the empty string. Within the 3rd token, OpenMetrics escaping rules apply: `\"` for a double-quote, `\n` for a line feed, `\\` for a literal backslash. Unescaped `"` must not occur inside the 3rd token (only as the 1st or last character). However, literal line feed characters are tolerated, as are single `\` characters not followed by `\`, `n`, or `"`. They act as a literal backslash in that case.
#### Composition of matchers
You can compose matchers to create complex match expressions. When composed, all matchers must match for the entire expression to match. For example, the expression `{alertname="Watchdog", severity=~"warning|critical"}` will match an alert with labels `alertname=Watchdog, severity=critical` but not an alert with labels `alertname=Watchdog, severity=none` as while the alertname is Watchdog the severity is neither warning nor critical.
You can compose matchers into expressions with a YAML list:
```yaml
matchers:
- alertname = Watchdog
- severity =~ "warning|critical"
```
or as a PromQL inspired expression where each matcher is comma separated:
```
{alertname="Watchdog", severity=~"warning|critical"}
```
A single trailing comma is permitted:
```
{alertname="Watchdog", severity=~"warning|critical",}
```
The open `{` and close `}` brace are optional:
```
alertname="Watchdog", severity=~"warning|critical"
```
However, both must be either present or omitted. You cannot have incomplete open or close braces:
```
{alertname="Watchdog", severity=~"warning|critical"
```
```
alertname="Watchdog", severity=~"warning|critical"}
```
You cannot have duplicate open or close braces either:
```
{{alertname="Watchdog", severity=~"warning|critical",}}
```
Whitespace (spaces, tabs and newlines) is permitted outside double quotes and has no effect on the matchers themselves. For example:
```
{
alertname = "Watchdog",
severity =~ "warning|critical",
}
```
is equivalent to:
```
{alertname="Watchdog",severity=~"warning|critical"}
```
#### More examples
Here are some more examples:
1. Two equals matchers composed as a YAML list:
```yaml
matchers:
- foo = bar
- dings != bums
```
2. Two matchers combined composed as a short-form YAML list:
```yaml
matchers: [ foo = bar, dings != bums ]
```
As shown below, in the short-form, it's better to use double quotes to avoid problems with special characters like commas:
```yaml
matchers: [ "foo = \"bar,baz\"", "dings != bums" ]
```
3. You can also put both matchers into one PromQL-like string. Single quotes work best here:
```yaml
matchers: [ '{foo="bar", dings!="bums"}' ]
```
4. To avoid issues with escaping and quoting rules in YAML, you can also use a YAML block:
```yaml
matchers:
- |
{quote=~"She said: \"Hi, all!( How're you…)?\""}
```
## General receiver-related settings
These receiver settings allow configuring notification destinations (receivers) and HTTP client options for HTTP-based receivers.
### `<receiver>`
Receiver is a named configuration of one or more notification integrations.
Note: As part of lifting the past moratorium on new receivers it was agreed that, in addition to the existing requirements, new notification integrations will be required to have a committed maintainer with push access.
```yaml
# The unique name of the receiver.
name: <string>
# Configurations for several notification integrations.
discord_configs:
[ - <discord_config>, ... ]
email_configs:
[ - <email_config>, ... ]

### `<http_config>`
An `http_config` allows configuring the HTTP client that the receiver uses to
communicate with HTTP-based API services.
```yaml
# Note that `basic_auth` and `authorization` options are mutually exclusive.
# Sets the `Authorization` header with the configured username and password.
# password and password_file are mutually exclusive.
basic_auth:
[ username: <string> ]
[ password: <secret> ]
[ password_file: <string> ]
# Optional the `Authorization` header configuration.
authorization:
# Sets the authentication type.
[ type: <string> | default: Bearer ]
# Sets the credentials. It is mutually exclusive with
# `credentials_file`.
[ credentials: <secret> ]
# Sets the credentials with the credentials read from the configured file.

# Configures the TLS settings.
tls_config:
[ <tls_config> ]
```
#### `<oauth2>`
OAuth 2.0 authentication using the client credentials grant type.
Alertmanager fetches an access token from the specified endpoint with
the given client access and secret keys.
```yaml
client_id: <string>
[ client_secret: <secret> ]
# Read the client secret from a file.
# It is mutually exclusive with `client_secret`.

```
#### `<tls_config>`
A `tls_config` allows configuring TLS connections.
```yaml
# CA certificate to validate the server certificate with.
[ ca_file: <filepath> ]
# Certificate and key files for client cert authentication to the server.
[ cert_file: <filepath> ]
[ key_file: <filepath> ]

```
## Receiver integration settings
These settings allow configuring specific receiver integrations.
### `<discord_config>`
Discord notifications are sent via the [Discord webhook API](https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/webhook). See Discord's ["Intro to Webhooks" article](https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/228383668-Intro-to-Webhooks) to learn how to configure a webhook integration for a channel.

# previously set by the notification implementation.
[ headers: { <string>: <tmpl_string>, ... } ]
```
### `<msteams_config>`
Microsoft Teams notifications are sent via the [Incoming Webhooks](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/webhooks-and-connectors/what-are-webhooks-and-connectors) API endpoint.
```yaml
# Whether to notify about resolved alerts.
[ send_resolved: <boolean> | default = true ]
# The incoming webhook URL.
# webhook_url and webhook_url_file are mutually exclusive.
[ webhook_url: <secret> ]

# Message body template.
[ text: <tmpl_string> | default = '{{ template "msteams.default.text" . }}' ]
# The HTTP client's configuration.
[ http_config: <http_config> | default = global.http_config ]
```
### `<jira_config>`
JIRA notifications are sent via [JIRA Rest API v2](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v2/intro/)
or [JIRA REST API v3](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/intro/#version).
Note: This integration is only tested against a Jira Cloud instance.
Jira Data Center (on premise instance) can work, but it's not guaranteed.
Both APIs have the same feature set. The difference is that V2 supports [Wiki Markup](https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/WikiRendererHelpAction.jspa?section=all)
for the issue description and V3 supports [Atlassian Document Format (ADF)](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/apis/document/structure/).
The default `jira.default.description` template only works with V2.
```yaml
# Whether to notify about resolved alerts.
[ send_resolved: <boolean> | default = true ]
# The URL to send API requests to. The full API path must be included.
# Example: https://company.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/
[ api_url: <string> | default = global.jira_api_url ]
# The project key where issues are created.
project: <string>
# Issue summary template.
[ summary: <tmpl_string> | default = '{{ template "jira.default.summary" . }}' ]
# Issue description template.
[ description: <tmpl_string> | default = '{{ template "jira.default.description" . }}' ]
# Labels to be added to the issue.
labels:
[ - <tmpl_string> ... ]
# Priority of the issue.
[ priority: <tmpl_string> | default = '{{ template "jira.default.priority" . }}' ]
# Type of the issue (e.g. Bug).
[ issue_type: <string> ]
# Name of the workflow transition to resolve an issue. The target status must have the category "done".
# NOTE: The name of the transition can be localized and depends on the language setting of the service account.
[ resolve_transition: <string> ]
# Name of the workflow transition to reopen an issue. The target status should not have the category "done".
# NOTE: The name of the transition can be localized and depends on the language setting of the service account.
[ reopen_transition: <string> ]
# If reopen_transition is defined, ignore issues with that resolution.
[ wont_fix_resolution: <string> ]
# If reopen_transition is defined, reopen the issue when it is not older than this value (rounded down to the nearest minute).
# The resolutiondate field is used to determine the age of the issue.
[ reopen_duration: <duration> ]
# Other issue and custom fields.
fields:
[ <string>: <jira_field> ... ]
# The HTTP client's configuration. You must use this configuration to supply the personal access token (PAT) as part of the HTTP `Authorization` header.
# For Jira Cloud, use basic_auth with the email address as the username and the PAT as the password.
# For Jira Data Center, use the 'authorization' field with 'credentials: <PAT value>'.
[ http_config: <http_config> | default = global.http_config ]
```
The `labels` field is a list of labels added to the issue. Template expressions are supported. For example:
```yaml
labels:
- 'alertmanager'
- '{{ .CommonLabels.severity }}'
```
#### `<jira_field>`
Jira issue field can have multiple types.
Depends on the field type, the values must be provided differently.
See https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/jira-rest-api-examples/#setting-custom-field-data-for-other-field-types for further examples.
```yaml
fields:
# Components
components: { name: "Monitoring" }
# Custom Field TextField
customfield_10001: "Random text"
# Custom Field SelectList
customfield_10002: {"value": "red"}
# Custom Field MultiSelect
customfield_10003: [{"value": "red"}, {"value": "blue"}, {"value": "green"}]
```
### `<opsgenie_config>`

VictorOps notifications are sent out via the [VictorOps API](https://help.victorops.com/knowledge-base/rest-endpoint-integration-guide/)
```yaml
# Whether to notify about resolved alerts.
[ send_resolved: <boolean> | default = true ]
# The API key to use when talking to the VictorOps API.
# It is mutually exclusive with `api_key_file`.
[ api_key: <secret> | default = global.victorops_api_key ]
# Reads the API key to use when talking to the VictorOps API from a file.
# It is mutually exclusive with `api_key`.
[ api_key_file: <filepath> | default = global.victorops_api_key_file ]
# The VictorOps API URL.
[ api_url: <string> | default = global.victorops_api_url ]
# A key used to map the alert to a team.
routing_key: <tmpl_string>
# Describes the behavior of the alert (CRITICAL, WARNING, INFO).
[ message_type: <tmpl_string> | default = 'CRITICAL' ]
# Contains summary of the alerted problem.
[ entity_display_name: <tmpl_string> | default = '{{ template "victorops.default.entity_display_name" . }}' ]
# Contains long explanation of the alerted problem.
[ state_message: <tmpl_string> | default = '{{ template "victorops.default.state_message" . }}' ]
# The monitoring tool the state message is from.
[ monitoring_tool: <tmpl_string> | default = '{{ template "victorops.default.monitoring_tool" . }}' ]
# The HTTP client's configuration.
[ http_config: <http_config> | default = global.http_config ]
```
### `<webhook_config>`
The webhook receiver allows configuring a generic receiver.
```yaml
# Whether to notify about resolved alerts.
[ send_resolved: <boolean> | default = true ]
# The endpoint to send HTTP POST requests to.
# url and url_file are mutually exclusive.
url: <secret>
url_file: <filepath>
# The HTTP client's configuration.
[ http_config: <http_config> | default = global.http_config ]
# The maximum number of alerts to include in a single webhook message. Alerts
# above this threshold are truncated. When leaving this at its default value of
# 0, all alerts are included.
[ max_alerts: <int> | default = 0 ]
```
The Alertmanager
will send HTTP POST requests in the following JSON format to the configured
endpoint:
```
{
"version": "4",
"groupKey": <string>, // key identifying the group of alerts (e.g. to deduplicate)
"truncatedAlerts": <int>, // how many alerts have been truncated due to "max_alerts"
"status": "<resolved|firing>",
"receiver": <string>,
"groupLabels": <object>,
"commonLabels": <object>,
"commonAnnotations": <object>,
"externalURL": <string>, // backlink to the Alertmanager.
"alerts": [
{
"status": "<resolved|firing>",
"labels": <object>,
"annotations": <object>,
"startsAt": "<rfc3339>",
"endsAt": "<rfc3339>",
"generatorURL": <string>, // identifies the entity that caused the alert
"fingerprint": <string> // fingerprint to identify the alert
},
...
]
}
```
There is a list of
[integrations](https://prometheus.io/docs/operating/integrations/#alertmanager-webhook-receiver) with
this feature.
