# matrix-alertmanager-receiver

Simple daemon - less than 150 lines of Go - forwarding
[prometheus-alertmanager](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=prometheus+alertmanagaer&ia=software)
events to matrix room. While there already is a
[matrix-alertmanager](https://git.feneas.org/jaywink/matrix-alertmanager)
project out there, use of the JavaScript ecosystem made it rather painful to
use from my point of view.

## Build

Make sure you have [Go](https://golang.org/) installed (`golang-bin` package on
Fedora).

```
make getDeps
make build
```

## Usage

Note: you are supposed to expose this service via a proxy such as Nginx,
providing basic HTTP authentication.
