# Alertmanager data source
|
|
|
|
Grafana includes built-in support for Prometheus Alertmanager. It is presently in alpha and not accessible unless [alpha plugins are enabled in Grafana settings](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/administration/configuration/#enable_alpha). Once you add it as a data source, you can use the [Grafana alerting UI](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/alerting/) to manage silences, contact points as well as notification policies. A drop-down option in these pages allows you to switch between Grafana and any configured Alertmanager data sources.

|
## Alertmanager implementations
|
|
|
|
[Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/) and [Cortex](https://cortexmetrics.io/) (default) implementations of Alertmanager are supported. You can specify implementation in the data source settings page. In case of Prometheus contact points and notification policies are read-only in the Grafana alerting UI, as it does not support updating configuration via HTTP API.

|
|
## Provision the Alertmanager data source
|
|
|
|
Configure the Alertmanager data sources by updating Grafana's configuration files. For more information on how it works and the settings available, refer to the [provisioning docs page]({{< relref "../administration/provisioning/#datasources" >}}).
|
|
|
|
Here is an example for provisioning the Alertmanager data source:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
apiVersion: 1
|
|
|
|
datasources:
|
|
- name: Alertmanager
|
|
type: alertmanager
|
|
url: http://localhost:9090
|
|
access: proxy
|
|
jsonData:
|
|
implementation: 'prometheus' # alternatively 'cortex'
|
|
# optionally
|
|
basicAuth: true
|
|
basicAuthUser: my_user
|
|
basicAuthPassword: test_password
|
|
```
