## Alerting stack configuration and Managed VictoriaMetrics
Managed VictoriaMetrics supports configuring alerting rules, powered by vmalert, and sending notifications with hosted Alertmanager.
## Configure Alertmanager
Managed VictoriaMetrics supports Alertmanager with standard [configuration](https://prometheus.io/docs/alerting/latest/configuration/).
Configuration menu is located under `Alertmanager` section of your deployment.

## Configure alerting rules
Alerting and recording rules could be configured via API calls.
### Managed VictoriaMetrics rules API
Managed VictoriaMetrics has the following APIs for rules:
* POST: `/api/v1/deployments/{deploymentId}/rule-sets/files/{fileName}`
* DELETE `/api/v1/deployments/{deploymentId}/rule-sets/files/{fileName}`
For more details, please check [OpenAPI Reference](https://cloud.victoriametrics.com/api-docs)
### Rules creation with API
Let's create two example rules for deployment in `testing-rules.yaml`
```yaml
groups:
- name: examples
concurrency: 2
interval: 10s
rules:
- alert: never-firing
expr: foobar > 0
for: 30s
labels:
severity: warning
annotations:
summary: empty result rule
- alert: always-firing
expr: vector(1) > 0
for: 30s
labels:
severity: critical
annotations:
summary: "rule must be always at firing state"
```
Upload rules to the Managed VictoriaMetrics using the following command:
```sh
curl https://cloud.victoriametrics.com/api/v1/deployments/<DEPLOYMENT_ID>/rule-sets/files/testing-rules -v -H 'X-VM-Cloud-Access: <CLOUD_API_TOKEN>' -XPOST --data-binary '@testing-rules.yaml'
```
## Troubleshooting
### Rules execution state
The state of created rules is located in the `Rules` section of your deployment:

### Debug
It's possible to debug the alerting stack with logs for vmalert and Alertmanager, which are accessible in the `Logs` section of the deployment.

### Monitoring
Alertmanager and vmalert errors are tracked by a built-in monitoring system.
Deployment's `Alerts` section has information about active incidents and incident history log.
