Simplest possible alertmanager config?

[Robert Collier]

I've made a test alert that always fires, and I'm trying to get alertmanager to email me.

I can see the alerts in alertmanager, and my config is:

aggregation_rule: <

  filter: <

    name_re: ".*"

    value_re: ".*"

  >

  repeat_rate_seconds: 3600

  notification_config_name: "rob_gmail"

>

notification_config: <

  name: "rob_gmail"

  email_config: <

    email: "rrco...@gmail.com"

  >

>

But no email sent. What am I missing?

    - Thanks.

Hi Robert,

did you set the smtp server command line flags? This is required to use the email alerting. Does the log say anything?

Aha I made the mistake of assuming the port number would default to 25 and didn't specify it. Working nicely now, thanks.

Btw., you can omit this filter completely, as a catch-all filter is a no-op.

Hi

Configured Alert Manager:

notification_config: <
name: "alertmanager_email"
email_config: <
email: "f...@example.org"

I got the Alert but no email sent. I am running the Alter manager docker as follows.
Note : FakeSMTP server is running in the 127.0.0.1:25

docker run -d -p 9093:9093 \
-v /tmp/alertmanager.conf:/alertmanager.conf \
prom/alertmanager \
-config.file=/alertmanager.conf \
-notification.smtp.sender=127.0.0.1:25

Thanks
Arun

You need at least one aggregation_rule section that matches your alerts, even if it has no filters.

A catch-all one could look like this:

aggregation_rule {

  repeat_rate_seconds: 86400 # 24h

  notification_config_name: "alertmanager_email"

}

Thanks for your reply.

I tried adding the aggregation rules still there is no email.

Doubts:
1. We need to set the Postfix null client to send email?
2. Can we configure Fake SMTP ip address using -notification.smtp.sender ?

Thanks

You need an actual SMTP server, such as a postfix null client.

I tried using the postfix null client also No email. below my config to run the docker image

docker run -d -p 9093:9093 -v /tmp/alertmanager.conf:/alertmanager.conf prom/alertmanager -config.file=/alertmanager.conf -notification.smtp.smarthost=xx.x.xxx.xx:25

I am able to send email from bash (mail x...@example.com)

Thanks

Hi
Can you guys explain how to set the -notification.smtp.smarthost and -notification.smtp.sender ?

If my fake smtp server is running in windows on port 25. my docker is running in Centos7. When an alert happen it should send the mail to fake smtp server on windows.

Thanks
Arun

Error sending email notification: dial tcp smtp.gmail.com:587: connection timed out" file=notifier.go line=751

Is my firewall is blocking ?

Thanks

Hi,

Need help.  I am new to Prometheus and configured Prometheus alert manager within my container. Please check attached snapshot aa1.png

 

Problem statement: If I am shutting down the node exporter from any of the node integrated with Prometheus Server. I am not getting any alert/notification with-in Prometheus alert-manager dashboard it’s not showing anything.

 

Although with-in Prometheus-dashboard it’s showing me node status “unhealthy”. Please check attached snapshot ss2.

 

But it’s not generating/sending any notification through alert manager dashboard(check snapshot ss4 and ss3).

 

Command used for running Prometheus under container:

docker run -dit  -p 9090:9090 -p 9100:9100 -p 3000:3000 -p 9093:9093 prom-node-promd-alert -notification.smtp.sender=10.127.128.199:25 /bin/bash

Regards,

Sandeep
