Alertmanager: Alertmanager install problem

Created on 22 Dec 2015 · 20Comments · Source: prometheus/alertmanager

Hello!
I would like to install alertmanager without using docker. I followed the steps. But "make" returns me errors. My go env is:


GOARCH="amd64"
GOBIN=""
GOCHAR="6"
GOEXE=""
GOHOSTARCH="amd64"
GOHOSTOS="linux"
GOOS="linux"
GOPATH="/home/richy/work"
GORACE=""
GOROOT="/home/richy/go"
GOTOOLDIR="/home/richy/go/pkg/tool/linux_amd64"
TERM="dumb"
CC="gcc"
GOGCCFLAGS="-g -O2 -fPIC -m64 -pthread"
CXX="g++"
CGO_ENABLED="1"

I have it

You need to add the http:// in the Alertmanager URL passed to Prometheus.

Try adding GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=1 to your environment.

brian-brazil on 22 Dec 2015

No change I have the same errors.
It's not a problem of GOPATH or GOROOT ?

Ncarel on 22 Dec 2015

Are you using go 1.5.1?

brian-brazil on 22 Dec 2015

no, 4.9.1 linux/amd64

Ncarel on 22 Dec 2015

There is no such version of go, please make sure you're running the latest stable version.

brian-brazil on 22 Dec 2015

i used go1.5.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz for go installation

Ncarel on 22 Dec 2015

Now, i have it

I'm not sure what's going on there, is your GOROOT set correctly?

brian-brazil on 22 Dec 2015

Here are my go env


GOARCH="amd64"
GOBIN=""
GOCHAR="6"
GOEXE=""
GOHOSTARCH="amd64"
GOHOSTOS="linux"
GOOS="linux"
GOPATH="/home/richy/alert"
GORACE=""
GOROOT="/usr/local/go"
GOTOOLDIR="/usr/local/go/pkg/tool/linux_amd64"
TERM="dumb"
CC="gcc"
GOGCCFLAGS="-g -O2 -fPIC -m64 -pthread"
CXX="g++"
CGO_ENABLED="1"

Do you have gccgo installed somewhere? Perhaps it has priority in your PATH.

beorn7 on 22 Dec 2015

thank you to all!

I uninstall gccgo and I add the path


export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin

I like to know if we can use the gmail SMTP to test sending emails?

Ncarel on 22 Dec 2015

it works

Ncarel on 22 Dec 2015

Please, I need any assistance regarding the alertmanger.conf.
I would like to have a simple conf of alertmanager.conf to run alertmanager.

Thanx!

Ncarel on 23 Dec 2015

My alertmanager.conf is


notification_config {
  name: "alertmanager_test"
  email_config {
    email: "[email protected]"
  }
}
aggregation_rule {
  filter {
    name_re: "job"
    value_re: "node"
  }
  repeat_rate_seconds: 86400
  notification_config_name: "alertmanager_test"
}

But when i do


richy@richy:~/Prometheus/alert/src/github.com/prometheus/alertmanager$ ./alertmanager -config.file=alertmanager.conf
alertmanager, version 0.1.0-beta0 (branch: master, revision: 0c668ea)
  build user:       richy@richy
  build date:       20151223-16:48:15
  go version:       1.5.2
INFO[0000] Loading configuration file                    file=alertmanager.conf source=main.go:125
ERRO[0000] Loading configuration file failed: yaml: line 1: mapping values are not allowed in this context  file=alertmanager.conf source=main.go:128

a solution?

Your configuration file has the format of the old Alertmanager but you are running the new one. If you check the README file of the version you built, you will see an annotated example configuration.

Proper documentation for the new Alertmanager is also being written right now, but unfinished. It might still be helpful: https://github.com/prometheus/docs/pull/275

A simple config could look like this (not tested):

global:
  smtp_from: '[email protected]'
  smtp_smarthost: '<your_mailserver>'

route:
  group_wait: 30s
  group_interval: 5m
  repeat_interval: 3h
  receiver: alertmanager_test

receivers:
- name: alertmanager_test
  email_configs:
  - to: '[email protected]'

Thanks for your help!
I configured the file and I launched Alertmanager. I can not receive alerts from Prometheus

capture du 2015-12-24 10 51 10

the Alertmanager status is

capture du 2015-12-24 10 51 47

Yet I configured alerts therein and alertmanager.url = localhost: 9093

capture du 2015-12-24 10 52 11

The Prometheus status is

capture du 2015-12-24 10 52 42

Please, where can I find the latest stable version of Alertmanager?

Ncarel on 24 Dec 2015

What do the logs for Alertmanager and Prometheus say? Any warnings or errors?
You can always check the 0.0.4 tag for the old Alertmanager.
