This is not valid json, paste it to https://jsonlint.com/ to verify.
Valid JSON body example would be:
[{
"status": "firing",
"labels": {
"alertname": "InstanceDown",
"instance": "localhost:9100",
"job": "node",
"severity": "warning"
},
"annotations": {},
"startsAt": "2020-04-06T19:57:38.628106884+05:30",
"endsAt": "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z",
"generatorURL": "http://adarsh-***";,
"fingerprint": "****"
}]
You seem to be sending a some internal attributes
status - there's no "firing" status in alertmanager, and it handles status
internally so you should skip it
fingerprint - AFAIR that's calculated internally from alert body, try
skipping it
endsAt "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z" value acts as "empty value" so if you're not
trying to set a custom endsAt then try skipping it
You're using v1 API, which will go away soon, you're better of switching to
v2, which has openapi spec so you can generate a client using
https://github.com/prometheus/alertmanager/blob/master/api/v2/openapi.yaml
