# Description
|
|
|
|
This role configures [AlertManager](https://prometheus.io/docs/alerting/alertmanager/) to notify people of threshold breaches in rules configured in Prometheus __master__ instance.
|
|
|
|
# Configuration
|
|
|
|
The bare minimum should be:
|
|
```yml
|
|
alertmanager_domain: 'alerts.example.org'
|
|
alertmanager_admin_email: 'admin@example.org'
|
|
|
|
# SMTP fallback
|
|
alertmanager_admin_email: 'admin@example.org'
|
|
alertmanager_smtp_host: smtp.mail.example.org'
|
|
alertmanager_smtp_from: 'alerts@example.org'
|
|
alertmanager_smtp_user: 'secret-smtp-user'
|
|
alertmanager_smtp_pass: 'secret-smtp-pass'
|
|
|
|
# VictorOps API
|
|
alertmanager_victorops_api_key: 'secret-victorops-api-key'
|
|
alertmanager_victorops_routing_key: 'alert-manager'
|
|
alertmanager_victorops_service_url: 'https://alert.victorops.com/integrations/generic/123123123/alert/'
|
|
```
|
|
Take note you will have to create an `alert-manager` routing rule in VictorOps.
|
|
|
|
# Management
|
|
|
|
You can manage existing alerts by using the `amtool` on any of the hosts running this:
|
|
```
|

# Details
|
|
|
|
AlertManager runs in a cluster to achieve high availability. The peer connect via [Tinc VPN](https://github.com/status-im/infra-role-bootstrap/tree/master/tasks/tinc).
|
|
The service listens on `:9093` and the Prometheus instance connects to that port via the VPN to inform it of threshold breaches.
|
|
|
|
The main configuration resides in [`templates/alertmanager.yml.j2`](templates/alertmanager.yml.j2).
|
|
It configures all the receivers of alerts generated by Prometheus __master__ instance.
|
|
|
|
The are three main sections:
|
|
|
|
* `global` - Configure general auth related options for SMTP and Slack receivers.
|
|
* `receivers` - Defines destinations of alets which can be used in the `route` section.
|
|
* `route` - Defines rules based on which alerts are directed to defined receivers.
|
|
