Dependencies

This role doesn't have dependencies.

Example Playbook

deploy.yml file:

- hosts: alertmanager
  roles:
    - { role: UnderGreen.prometheus-alertmanager }

You should create another config parts of main file inside {{ playbook_dir }}/files/alertmanager_config_parts.
I use Ansible assembly and config parts should have alphabethical order. For example 2-route.yml:

# 2-route.yml
route:
  # The labels by which incoming alerts are grouped together. For example,
  # multiple alerts coming in for cluster=A and alertname=LatencyHigh would
  # be batched into a single group.
  group_by: ['alertname', 'cluster', 'service']
  
  ...
