One of the most important functionalities of Prometheus is being able to alert based on your metrics. The Prometheus Alertmanager is a critical piece of cloud native observability, and in this talk, Josue wants to share a bit more of its past, present and future. About a year ago, he set out on a path to improve scaling in the Cortex Alertmanager component, then he decided to include the Alertmanager within Grafana to continue fostering open source collaboration. For the future, his plan is to take all the good parts of what he learned on this journey back to the Prometheus Alertmanager thus going full cycle. He’ll cover: The Prometheus Alertmanager and the benefits of its modular architecture (past) The benefits of the new architecture of the Cortex Alertmanager: Like Cortex but for Alerts (past) Inclusion of the Prometheus Alertmanager within Grafana (present) The future of the Prometheus Alertmanager (future).
