To view logs for alertmanager:

sudo journalctl --unit=alertmanager.service

## extra verbose:

sudo journalctl -o verbose --unit=alertmanager.service

Hi Sir,

I'm having the same problem, I'm running Alertmanager on Docker, I have alerts firing in alertmanager and I can send notifications via Slack but I can't send emails.
