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;

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, an app store with an audience of millions.
If you’re running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) or later, including Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.
For versions of Ubuntu between 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and 15.10 (Wily Werewolf), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include snap by default, snap can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for snapd.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install vmalert, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install vmalert
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
