API for Alert creation in Prometheus

[vikram yerneni]

Fellas,

I am using Prometheus and Prometheus-Alertmanager for our in-house Metrics setups and I am wondering if there is a way to create/generate/config/manage alerts in Prometheus through an API call?

I am trying to setup a new instance setup here and it will be from the scratch.

Please do let me know

Cheers!

Vikram

No.  You need a configuration management tool to write out the alerting rules in yaml, and then you signal prometheus to reload its configuration.

Thanks Brian for the reply here. Will use Ansible for the same then...
