The Alertmanager handles alerts sent by client applications such as the Prometheus server. It takes care of deduplicating, grouping, and routing them to the correct receiver integrations such as email, PagerDuty, or OpsGenie. It also takes care of silencing and inhibition of alerts. Precompiled binaries for released versions are available in the download section on prometheus.io. Using the latest production release binary is the recommended way of installing Alertmanager. The current Alertmanager API is version 2. This API is fully generated via the OpenAPI project and Go Swagger with the exception of the HTTP handlers themselves. A HTML rendered version can be accessed and clients can be easily generated via any OpenAPI generator for all major languages.
