Alertmanager: Loading configuration file failed: missing channel in Slack config

[mysterytree]

I run the alertmanager:v0.1 beta with docker.
And get the error

Notify for 1 alerts failed: notifier \"alertmanager_test\" does not exist

[mysterytree]

[mysterytree]

alertmanager.yml

global:
  slack_api_url: "https://hooks.slack.com/services/xxxI?channel=xxx"

route:
  group_wait: 10s
  group_interval: 10s
  repeat_interval: 10s
  receiver: alertmanager_test

[mysterytree]

remove the

 receiver: alertmanager_test

from alertmanager.yml
get the error

Notify for 1 alerts failed: notifier \"\" does not exist

[mysterytree]

so I edit alertmanager.yml

global:
  slack_api_url: "https://hooks.slack.com/services/xx?channel=xx"
route:
  group_wait: 10s
  group_interval: 10s
  repeat_interval: 10s
  receiver: alertmanager_test
receivers:
  - name: alertmanager_test
    slack_configs:
    - webhook_url: 'https://hooks.slack.com/services/xx'
    - channel: '#xx'

But still get the error

Loading configuration file failed: missing channel in Slack config

what should I do

The YAML is wrong. No dash in front of every object item but only in front of the first one.

global:
  slack_api_url: "https://hooks.slack.com/services/xx?channel=xx"
route:
  group_wait: 10s
  group_interval: 10s
  repeat_interval: 10s
  receiver: alertmanager_test
receivers:
  - name: alertmanager_test
    slack_configs:
    - webhook_url: 'https://hooks.slack.com/services/xx'
      channel: '#xx'

that just gives a:

time="2016-01-20T20:26:34Z" level=error msg="Loading configuration file failed: unknown fields in slack config: webhook_url" file="/alertmanager/config.yml" source="main.go:128"

[nicholascapo]

Should be 'slack_api_url' [1] or 'api_url' [2]

The url is bad. Do those github directories still exist?
