How it works
- An alert fires in Alertmanager
- Foggy receives the alert with its full context (name, labels, severity, duration)
- Foggy automatically starts an investigation using the alert as the starting point
- Results are delivered to Slack (if configured) and stored as a thread in the web interface
Setup
Go to Connectors → Add Connector → Alert Manager and fill in the form.| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Yes | A label for this alert source (e.g. “Production Alert Manager”) |
| Host | Yes | Your Alertmanager URL (e.g. https://alertmanager.my-company.com) |
| Token | No | API token for authenticated access |
Alert storm handling
Same queue-based approach as Grafana Alerts:- Bundling — Alerts that arrive while an investigation is running are queued and investigated together in one bundled pass.
- Dedup — The same alert firing repeatedly while queued counts as one entry, not separate investigations.
Pairing with automations
Use Alert Manager as a trigger for alert-triggered automations. Define filter rules to match specific alert labels so only relevant alerts trigger investigations.Foggy uses read-only access. Your data is never modified.
