AlertManager not running.

[Saurabh Jain]

Hi,

I am trying to run AlertManager but it is not running even after I configured prometheus.yml file.

pls take a look of yml file and kindly advice if I am missing any configuration.

global:
  scrape_interval: 15s
  evaluation_interval: 15s
  external_labels:
    cluster: eu1
    replica: 0


 
alerting:
  alertmanagers:
  - static_configs:
    - targets:
       - localhost:9093

rule_files:
  # - "first_rules.yml"
  # - "second_rules.yml"
 
  - 'alerts.yml'
 
 
scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'prometheus'
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['127.0.0.1:9090','localhost:9182']
  - job_name: 'sidecar'
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['127.0.0.1:19090']

URL to access AlertManager which I am using -----   http://localhost:9093/#/alerts/

Thanks,

Saurabh

Hi

Can you please check your configuration file to see if they are correct?

for prometheus:

promtool check config /etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml

for alertmanager:

amtool check-config /etc/alertmanager/alertmanager.yml

Hi,

Pls find below output

C:\Users\SaurabhJain\Desktop\Bharti\prometheus-2.17.1.windows-amd64.tar\prometheus-2.17.1.windows-amd64>promtool.exe check config prometheus.yml
Checking prometheus.yml
  SUCCESS: 1 rule files found

Checking alerts.yml
  SUCCESS: 1 rules found

Thanks

what is the content of your alertmanager.yml file? 

Did you evaluate them using the command "amtool"?

Do you get any errors when you run the alertmanager binary manually? e.g :

/usr/local/sbin/alertmanager \

--config.file=/etc/alertmanager/alertmanager.yml \

--storage.path=/var/lib/alertmanager

Thank you Yashar ... I am able to run Alertmanager now .. There was special character in the file due to which it was getting exited from the process
