## VictoriaMetrics single server
VictoriaMetrics will be accessible on the following ports:
* `--graphiteListenAddr=:2003`
* `--opentsdbListenAddr=:4242`
* `--httpListenAddr=:8428`
The communication scheme between components is the following:
2022-12-06 06:05:31 +00:00
* [vmagent ](#vmagent ) sends scraped metrics to `single server VictoriaMetrics` ;
* [grafana ](#grafana ) is configured with datasource pointing to `single server VictoriaMetrics` ;
* [vmalert ](#vmalert ) is configured to query `single server VictoriaMetrics` and send alerts state
2022-09-21 08:48:38 +00:00
and recording rules back to it;
2022-12-06 06:05:31 +00:00
* [alertmanager ](#alertmanager ) is configured to receive notifications from `vmalert` .
2022-09-21 08:48:38 +00:00
2022-12-06 06:05:31 +00:00
To access `vmalert` use link [http://localhost:8428/vmalert ](http://localhost:8428/vmalert/ ).

## VictoriaMetrics cluster
2022-12-06 06:05:31 +00:00
VictoriaMetrics cluster environment consists of `vminsert` , `vmstorage` and `vmselect` components.
`vmselect` has exposed port `:8481` , `vminsert` has exposed port `:8480` and the rest of components
are available only inside the environment.

* [vmagent ](#vmagent ) sends scraped metrics to `vminsert` ;
* `vminsert` forwards data to `vmstorage` ;
* `vmselect` is connected to `vmstorage` for querying data;
* [grafana ](#grafana ) is configured with datasource pointing to `vmselect` ;
* [vmalert ](#vmalert ) is configured to query `vmselect` and send alerts state
and recording rules to `vminsert` ;

vmalert evaluates alerting rules [alerts.yml(https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/deployment/docker/alerts.yml)
to track VictoriaMetrics health state. It is connected with AlertManager for firing alerts,
2021-09-01 07:25:07 +00:00
and with VictoriaMetrics for executing queries and storing alert's state.
[Web interface link ](http://localhost:8880/ ).
## alertmanager
AlertManager accepts notifications from `vmalert` and fires alerts.
All notifications are blackholed according to `alertmanager.yml` config.
