## Frequently Asked Questions
* How to use [multitenancy](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/#multitenancy) in vmalert?
* vmalert doesn't support multi-tenancy for VictoriaLogs in the same way as it [supports it for VictoriaMetrics in ENT version](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert/#multitenancy).
However, it is possible to specify the queried tenant from VictoriaLogs datasource via `headers` param in [Group config](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmalert/#groups).
For example, the following config will execute all the rules within the group against tenant with `AccountID=1` and `ProjectID=2`:
```yaml
groups:
- name: MyGroup
headers:
- "AccountID: 1"
- "ProjectID: 2"
rules: ...
```
* How to use one vmalert for VictoriaLogs and VictoriaMetrics rules in the same time?
* vmalert allows having many groups with different rule types (`vlogs`, `prometheus`, `graphite`).
But only one `-datasource.url` cmd-line flag can be specified, so it can't be configured with more than 1 datasource.
However, VictoriaMetrics and VictoriaLogs datasources have different query path prefixes, and it is possible to use [vmauth](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmauth/) to route requests of different types between datasources.
See example of vmauth config for such routing below:
```yaml
unauthorized_user:
url_map:
- src_paths:
- "/api/v1/query.*"
url_prefix: "http://victoriametrics:8428"
- src_paths:
- "/select/logsql/.*"
url_prefix: "http://victorialogs:9428"
```
Now, vmalert needs to be configured with `--datasource.url=http://vmauth:8427/` to send queries to vmauth, and vmauth will route them to the specified destinations as in configuration example above.
