How is Prometheus Alert Manager hooked up with the Monitor?

[crysta...@gmail.com]

I have prometheus monitor running on a server with IP 11.22.33.44

I can see the alerts I'm expecting at http://11.22.33.44:9090/alerts

I have prometheus alert manager running on another server with IP 55.66.77.88

However, there is no alert shown at http://55.66.77.88:9093/#/alerts

My alertmanager.yml is almost a carbon copy of the example simple.yml

There is nothing in the alertmanager.yml that tells the alert manager on 55.66.77.88 to watch for alerts on the server 11.22.33.44

How do to hook up the monitor at 11.22.33.44 with the alert manager on 55.66.77.88 anyway?

If you're using a version of Prometheus >=1.4 you can add the following to your Prometheus configuration file to hook up Prometheus and Alertmanager.

alerting:
  alertmanagers:
  - scheme: https
    static_configs:
    - targets:
      - "55.66.77.88:9093"

Is the alert firing? I don't think you'll see the alert in the Alertmanager if the alert isn't firing in Prometheus.

Hope that helps,

Conor

Thanks, Conor, that's what I'm looking for.

I added the block to my prometheus.yml.

Yes, the alerts are firing at prometheus server at 11.22.33.44

But I still see "No alerts found" on 55.66.77.88:9093/#/alerts

Do I have to setup something for enable network communication between the two servers?

Try checking prometheus logs&metrics for errors in that case. Hopefully something there will point you in the right direction.
