This is documentation for the next version of Grafana. For the latest stable release, go to the latest version.
Alertmanager data source
Grafana includes built-in support for Prometheus Alertmanager. Once you add it as a data source, you can use the Grafana Alerting UI to manage silences, contact points as well as notification policies. A drop-down option in these pages allows you to switch between Grafana and any configured Alertmanager data sources.
Alertmanager implementations
Prometheus and Grafana Mimir (default) implementations of Alertmanager are supported. You can specify implementation in the data source settings page. In case of Prometheus contact points and notification policies are read-only in the Grafana Alerting UI, as it does not support updating configuration via HTTP API.
Provision the Alertmanager data source
Configure the Alertmanager data sources by updating Grafana’s configuration files. For more information on how it works and the settings available, refer to the provisioning docs page.
Here is an example for provisioning the Alertmanager data source:
apiVersion: 1
datasources:
- name: Alertmanager
type: alertmanager
url: http://localhost:9093
access: proxy
jsonData:
# optionally
basicAuth: true
basicAuthUser: my_user
secureJsonData:
basicAuthPassword: test_password
