#### vmalert executes a list of the given alerting or recording rules against configured -datasource.url compatible with Prometheus

For sending alerting notifications *vmalert*\* relies on **Alertmanager** configured via  `-notifier.url` flag. Recording rules results are persisted via remote write protocol and require  `-remoteWrite.url` to be configured. Vmalert is heavily inspired by **Prometheus** implementation and aims to be compatible with its syntax.

A single-node or cluster version of **VictoriaMetrics** are capable of proxying requests to vmalert via  `-vmalert.proxyURL` command-line flag. Use this feature for the following cases:

* for proxying requests from **Grafana Alerting UI**;
* for accessing vmalerts **UI** through **VictoriaMetrics Web** interface.
* Integration with VictoriaMetrics TSDB;
* VictoriaMetrics MetricsQL support and expressions validation;
* Prometheus alerting rules definition format support;
* Integration with Alertmanager starting from Alertmanager v0.16.0-alpha;
* Keeps the alerts state on restarts;
* Graphite datasource can be used for alerting and recording rules. See these docs;
* Recording and Alerting rules backfilling (aka replay). See these docs;
* Lightweight and without extra dependencies.
* Supports reusable templates for annotations;
* Load of recording and alerting rules from local filesystem, URL, GCS and S3;
* Detect alerting rules which don't match any series.

## Enable snaps on Fedora and install vmalert

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap can be installed on Fedora from the command line:

```
sudo dnf install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```
