13.3 Install and Configure Alertmanager
Prometheus scrapes data from the MicroTx coordinator at regular intervals. Prometheus Alertmanager sends notifications based on the specified thresholds and rules. If you have configured an email ID to receive notifications, Alertmanager sends notifications to the configured email ID.
Alerts are sent based on the thresholds or rules mentioned in the
prometheus.yaml
file. For example, users are notified when the MicroTx service or database service is not available. You can customize the alerts. To add a custom alert, see https://prometheus.io/docs/alerting/latest/notifications/.
You can configure to receive alerts on Slack or email. Refer to the Prometheus Alertmanager documentation.
