* Lightweight without extra dependencies.
### TODO:
* Persist alerts state as timeseries in TSDB. Currently, alerts state is stored
in process memory only and will be lost on restart;
* Configuration hot reload.
### QuickStart

Used as alert source in AlertManager.

`vmalert` may be configured with `-remotewrite` flag to write alerts state in form of timeseries
via remote write protocol. Alerts state will be written as `ALERTS` timeseries. These timeseries
may be used to recover alerts state on `vmalert` restarts if `-remoteread` is configured.
### Configuration
The shortlist of configuration flags is the following:
```
Usage of vmalert:
-datasource.url string
Victoria Metrics or VMSelect url. Required parameter. e.g. http://127.0.0.1:8428
-datasource.basicAuth.password string
Optional basic auth password to use for -datasource.url
Optional basic auth password for -datasource.url
-datasource.basicAuth.username string
Optional basic auth username to use for -datasource.url
Optional basic auth username for -datasource.url
-datasource.url string
Victoria Metrics or VMSelect url. Required parameter. E.g. http://127.0.0.1:8428
-enableTCP6
Whether to enable IPv6 for listening and dialing. By default only IPv4 TCP is used
-evaluationInterval duration
How often to evaluate the rules. Default 1m (default 1m0s)
-external.url string
External URL is used as alert's source for sent alerts to the notifier
-http.maxGracefulShutdownDuration duration
The maximum duration for graceful shutdown of HTTP server. Highly loaded server may require increased value for graceful shutdown (default 7s)
-httpAuth.password string
Password for HTTP Basic Auth. The authentication is disabled if -httpAuth.username is empty
-httpAuth.username string
Username for HTTP Basic Auth. The authentication is disabled if empty. See also -httpAuth.password
-httpListenAddr string
Address to listen for http connections (default ":8880")
-notifier.url string
Prometheus alertmanager URL. Required parameter. e.g. http://127.0.0.1:9093
-remoteread.basicAuth.password string
Optional basic auth password for -remoteread.url
-remoteread.basicAuth.username string
Optional basic auth username for -remoteread.url
-remoteread.lookback duration
Lookback defines how far to look into past for alerts timeseries. For example, if lookback=1h then range from now() to now()-1h will be scanned. (default 1h0m0s)
-remoteread.url vmalert
Optional URL to Victoria Metrics or VMSelect that will be used to restore alerts state. This configuration makes sense only if vmalert was configured with `remotewrite.url` before and has been successfully persisted its state. E.g. http://127.0.0.1:8428
-remotewrite.basicAuth.password string
Optional basic auth password for -remotewrite.url
-remotewrite.basicAuth.username string
Optional basic auth username for -remotewrite.url
-remotewrite.url string
Optional URL to remote-write compatible storage where to write timeseriesbased on active alerts. E.g. http://127.0.0.1:8428
Optional URL to Victoria Metrics or VMInsert where to persist alerts state in form of timeseries. E.g. http://127.0.0.1:8428
-rule value
Path to the file with alert rules.
Supports patterns. Flag can be specified multiple times.
