This short how-to shows you how to add the Prometheus Alert Manager via Special Agent.

The alertmanager special agent queries the "API/v1/rules" endpoint of Prometheus. This allows it to show which alarms have been triggered by Prometheus.

Step-by-step guide

Add the steps involved:

Create the Prometheus Alert Manager Host with "API integrations, no Checkmk Agent"
Create the rule:

Setup → Agents → VM, Cloud, Container → Alertmanager → Add Rule
- Name of Piggyback Host: We suggest the alert manager host, but feel free to choose what fits you best.
- All other options, according to your settings
- For connection options. Make sure to connect to the Prometheus instance!
- Explicit host: the Prometheus Alert Manager host
