field route not found in type config.plain, field receivers not found in type config.plain

[Zarah Diarras]

Hello guys

I am new to prometheus. I am setting up Alert manager to get email notification. the alerts are firing but i am not receiving mails beccause of my alertmanager.yml file.

this is how the file looks like

route:
  group_by: [Alertname]
  receiver: email-me

receivers:
- name: email-me
  email_configs:
  - to: receiver@.....
    from: sender@...
    smarthost: mail.domain.net:25  

    auth_username: " sender@domain.net"
    auth_identity: " sender@domain.net"
    auth_password: "mypass"

and this is the error message I get when i check the config.

 FAILED: parsing YAML file /etc/alertmanager/alertmanager.yml: yaml: unmarshal er                     rors:
  line 1: field route not found in type config.plain
  line 5: field receivers not found in type config.plain

alertmanager version is 0.17.0

alertmanager --version
alertmanager, version 0.17.0 (branch: HEAD, revision: c7551cd75c414dc81df027f691e2eb21d4fd85b2)
  build user:       root@932a86a52b76
  build date:       20190503-09:10:07
  go version:       go1.12.4

best regards.

There's something off with your YAML data for sure but what you pasted looks ok.
Can you share it on pastebin (or similar)?

Hmm, I've run this:

curl -s https://pastebin.com/raw/YqtCxWC3 > alertmanager.yml && docker
run --rm -v $PWD/alertmanager.yml:/etc/alertmanager/alertmanager.yml
-p 9093:9093 prom/alertmanager:v0.17.0

And it worked for me...

[Zarah Diarras]

so what do you suggest me to do? I regenerate the whole config but still getting the same error

Not sure about the issue since what you've shared works for me...
