# Configure Alertmanager
|
|
|
|
Configure Alertmanager from Grafana Alerting to group and manage alert rules, adding a layer of orchestration on top of your external alerting engine.
|
|
|
|
## Add a new external Alertmanager
|
|
|
|
1. In the Grafana menu, click the Alerting (bell) icon to open the Alerting page listing existing alerts.
|
|
2. Click **Admin** and then scroll down to the External Alertmanager section.
|
|
3. Click **Add Alertmanager** and a modal opens.
|
|
4. Add the URL and the port for the external Alertmanager. You do not need to specify the path suffix, for example, `/api/v(1|2)/alerts`. Grafana automatically adds this.
|
|
|
|
The external URL is listed in the table with a pending status. Once Grafana verifies that the Alertmanager is discovered, the status changes to active. No requests are made to the external Alertmanager at this point; the verification signals that alerts are ready to be sent.
|
|
|
|
### Edit an external Alertmanager
|
|
|
|
1. Click the pen symbol to the right of the Alertmanager row in the table.
|
|
2. When the edit modal opens, you can view all the URLs that were added.
|
|
|
|
The edited URL will be pending until Grafana verifies it again.
