Hi all,

I just wanted to know that is it possible to get alerts generated from sources other than Prometheus alerting rules ? can you please point me to the documentation of that.

Thanks and Regards

In general, this is possible, yes, see here:
https://prometheus.io/docs/alerting/clients/

However, you would have to mimic the semantics of this API pretty
closely (especially continuous resending of alerts).


Kind regards,

Hie Christian,

great to hear from you ..thanks for the response .

I had one more question..I read the alertmanager client doc and I get it that we need to send alerts in a predefined json format  but at what URL I need to do a POST request.. I hope I did not say something silly ..I'm kinda new to Prometheus..

Thanks..
