This guide explains the different ways in which you can use vmalert in conjunction with VictoriaMetrics Cloud

Preconditions

vmalert is installed. You can obtain it by building it from source, downloading it from the GitHub releases page, or using the docker image for the container ecosystem (such as docker, k8s, etc.).
Alertmanager is installed.
You have a single or cluster deployment in VictoriaMetrics Cloud.
If you are using helm, add the VictoriaMetrics helm chart repository to your helm repositories. This step is optional.
If you are using vmoperator, make sure that it and its CRDs are installed. This step is also optional.

Setup

Alerting and recording rules file(s)

You need to prepare file(s) with alerting or recording rules.

An example file with one alerting rule.

alerts.yml

groups:
  - name: common
    rules:
    - alert: instanceIsDown
      for: 1m
      expr: up == 0
      labels:
        severity: critical
      annotations:
        summary: "{{ $labels.job }} instance: {{$labels.instance }} is not up"
        description: "Job {{ $labels.job }}  instance: {{$labels.instance }} is not up for the last 1 minute"

VictoriaMetrics Cloud access token and deployment endpoint

To use vmalert with VictoriaMetrics Cloud, you must create a read/write token, or use an existing one. The token must have write access to ingest recording rules, ALERTS and ALERTS_FOR_STATE metrics, and read access for rules evaluation.

For instructions on how to create tokens, please refer to this section of the documentation.
