Brian,

Please help with this.

Following your suggestion, I have my rule file defined:

groups:
- name: host-down
  rules:

  # Alert for any instance that is unreachable for >5 minutes.
  - alert: InstanceDown
    expr: probe_success == 0
    for: 3m
    labels:
      severity: page
    annotations:
      summary: "Instance {{ $labels.instance }} down"
      description: "{{ $labels.instance }} of job {{ $labels.job }} has
been down for more than 5 minutes."


And I have the alertmanager.yml:

global:
  smtp_smarthost: 'localhost:25'
  smtp_from: '[email protected]'

route:
  group_by: ['alertname']
  group_wait: 10s
  group_interval: 10s
  repeat_interval: 1h
  receiver: team-X-mails

receivers:
- name: 'team-X-mails'
  email_configs:
  - to: '[email protected]'


inhibit_rules:
- source_match:
    severity: 'critical'
  target_match:
    severity: 'warning'
  equal: ['alertname']


SMTP smarthost is working fine, I have tested it by hand (I know well on
smtp server).

But, I never got an email... there is nothing info in local postfix 's log.

Can you help digging into this?

Thanks in advance.
