what is the right way to setup alertmanager in Federation?

[radhamani...@gmail.com]

If we enable Alertmanagers in dedicated clusters, then how do we route the alerts to receiver ? Do we send the alerts to receivers directly from dedicated clusters? or should we route the alerts from dedicated clusters to central Federation Alertmanager? If yes, how to chain the alertmanagers?

[Bjoern Rabenstein]

Your questions don't really make sense. Alertmanager doesn't have a
concept of federation. All the peers in an Alertmanager cluster are
equal. Each Prometheus server sends all its alerts to all Alertmanager
instances, and the Alertmanager instances then negotiate who sends the
resulting notification to the receiver. No chaining.
