#### VMAlert command-line tool

**vmalert-tool**

<https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert-tool/>

**Unit testing for rules**

<https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert-tool/#unit-testing-for-rules>

You can use `vmalert-tool` to run unit tests for alerting and recording rules. It will perform the following actions:

* sets up an isolated VictoriaMetrics instance;
* simulates the periodic ingestion of time series;
* queries the ingested data for recording and alerting rules evaluation like <https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert/>;
* checks whether the firing alerts or resulting recording rules match the expected results.

**See how to run vmalert-tool for unit test below:**

Run vmalert-tool with one or multiple test files via --files cmd-line flag

`./vmalert-tool unittest --files test1.yaml --files test2.yaml`

vmalert-tool unittest is compatible with Prometheus config format for tests (<https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/unit_testing_rules/#test-file-format> except) `promql_expr_test` field. Use `metricsql_expr_test` field name instead. The name is different because vmalert-tool validates and executes MetricsQL (<https://docs.victoriametrics.com/metricsql/>) expressions, which aren’t always backward compatible with PromQL (<https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/querying/basics/>).
