You're not taking a very helpful approach to debugging. If you had shown the full error message, as I suggested, then your issue could probably have been fixed.
You didn't say what guide you're following. The official documentation is IMO clear and detailed: https://prometheus.io/docs/alerting/latest/overview/ https://github.com/prometheus/alertmanager As for installation, it's just a binary that you download and run, but the above documents don't tell you how to configure systemd to run it (ultimately it's assumed that you know how to administer a Linux system). You can find some step-by-step instructions here, which may or may not help: https://nsrc.org/workshops/2022/rwnog/nmm/netmgmt/en/prometheus/ex-alertmanager.html On Friday 30 August 2024 at 10:19:04 UTC+1 chinelo Ufondu wrote: > I just had to uninstall alert manager, its stressing me out > Please i need a good guide on installing alertmanager, i want to start > afresh > The guide i have seen so far is just complicating > > On Wednesday 28 August 2024 at 19:30:23 UTC+1 Brian Candler wrote: > >> The important error message has been truncated ("Unable to create..."). >> You can use left/right arrows to scroll sideways, but it would be better to >> use these commands: >> >> systemctl status alertmanager -l --no-pager >> journalctl -u alertmanager -n100 --no-pager >> >> On Wednesday 28 August 2024 at 18:28:15 UTC+1 chinelo Ufondu wrote: >> >>> × alertmanager.service - AlertManager >>> Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/alertmanager.service; enabled; >>> vendor preset: enabled) >>> Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2024-08-28 15:43:10 >>> UTC; 2s ago >>> Process: 1691244 ExecStart=/usr/bin/alertmanager --config.file >>> /etc/alertmanager/alertmanager.yml (code=exited, status=1/FAIL> >>> Main PID: 1691244 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) >>> CPU: 29ms >>> >>> Aug 28 15:43:10 localhost systemd[1]: Started AlertManager. >>> Aug 28 15:43:10 localhost alertmanager[1691244]: >>> ts=2024-08-28T15:43:10.392Z caller=main.go:181 level=info msg="Starting >>> Alertman> >>> Aug 28 15:43:10 localhost alertmanager[1691244]: >>> ts=2024-08-28T15:43:10.392Z caller=main.go:182 level=info >>> build_context="(go=go1> >>> Aug 28 15:43:10 localhost alertmanager[1691244]: >>> ts=2024-08-28T15:43:10.392Z caller=main.go:193 level=error msg="Unable to >>> create> >>> Aug 28 15:43:10 localhost systemd[1]: alertmanager.service: Main process >>> exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE >>> Aug 28 15:43:10 localhost systemd[1]: alertmanager.service: Failed with >>> result 'exit-code'. >>> ~ >>> ~ >>> >> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Users" group.
