Setting up Prometheus with existing Alertmanager

[Rui Zhu]

Dear Prometheus Developers,

I hope this message finds you well. I am currently working on setting up a Prometheus instance in a Kubernetes cluster and I would like to connect it to an existing remote Prometheus Alertmanager. The goal here is to make the remote Alertmanager send slack notifications when alerts fire off on this new Prometheus instance.

I tried these two approaches in my prometheus.yaml file which are passed in using `--values` for `helm install` but both are not working (please see attached files). I'm using prometheus 2.51.0.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best,

Update:

this config works for me:

server:

alertmanagers:

- scheme: http

static_configs:

- targets:

- "my-existing-alertmanager-url"
