# Set up alerts for Prometheus metrics
After [configuring metrics for your CI/CD environment](index.md), you can set up
alerting for Prometheus metrics depending on the location of your instances, and
[trigger actions from alerts](#trigger-actions-from-alerts-ultimate) to notify
your team when environment performance falls outside of the boundaries you set.
## Managed Prometheus instances
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/6590) in [GitLab Ultimate](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 11.2 for [custom metrics](index.md#adding-custom-metrics), and 11.3 for [library metrics](../../user/project/integrations/prometheus_library/metrics.md).
For managed Prometheus instances using auto configuration, you can
[configure alerts for metrics](index.md#adding-custom-metrics) directly in the
[metrics dashboard](index.md). To set an alert:
1. In your project, navigate to **{cloud-gear}** **Operations > Metrics**,
1. Identify the metric you want to create the alert for, and click the
**ellipsis** **{ellipsis_v}** icon in the top right corner of the metric.
1. Choose **Alerts**.
1. Set threshold and operator.
1. Click **Add** to save and activate the alert.

To remove the alert, click back on the alert icon for the desired metric, and click **Delete**.
## External Prometheus instances
>- [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/9258) in [GitLab Ultimate](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 11.8.
>- [Moved](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/42640) to [GitLab Core](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) in 12.10.
For manually configured Prometheus servers, GitLab provides a notify endpoint for
use with Prometheus webhooks. If you have manual configuration enabled, an
**Alerts** section is added to **{settings}** **Settings > Integrations > Prometheus**.
This section contains the **URL** and **Authorization Key** you will need. The
**Reset Key** button will invalidate the key and generate a new one.
![Prometheus service configuration of Alerts](../../user/project/integrations/img/prometheus_service_alerts.png)
To send GitLab alert notifications, copy the **URL** and **Authorization Key** into the
[`webhook_configs`](https://prometheus.io/docs/alerting/latest/configuration/#webhook_config)
section of your Prometheus Alertmanager configuration:
```yaml
receivers:
name: gitlab
webhook_configs:
- http_config:
bearer_token: 9e1cbfcd546896a9ea8be557caf13a76
send_resolved: true
url: http://192.168.178.31:3001/root/manual_prometheus/prometheus/alerts/notify.json
...
```
For GitLab to associate your alerts with an [environment](../../ci/environments/index.md),
you must configure a `gitlab_environment_name` label on the alerts you set up in
Prometheus. The value of this should match the name of your environment in GitLab.
NOTE: **Note:**
In GitLab versions 13.1 and greater, you can configure your manually configured
Prometheus server to use the
[Generic alerts integration](../../user/project/integrations/generic_alerts.md).
## Trigger actions from alerts **(ULTIMATE)**
>- [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/4925) in [GitLab Ultimate](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 11.11.
>- [From GitLab Ultimate 12.5](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/13401), when GitLab receives a recovery alert, it will automatically close the associated issue.
Alerts can be used to trigger actions, like opening an issue automatically
(disabled by default since `13.1`). To configure the actions:
1. Navigate to your project's **{settings}** **Settings > Operations > Incidents**.
1. Enable the option to create issues.
1. Choose the [issue template](../../user/project/description_templates.md) to create the issue from.
1. Optionally, select whether to send an email notification to the developers of the project.
1. Click **Save changes**.
After enabling, GitLab automatically opens an issue when an alert is triggered containing
values extracted from [alert's payload](https://prometheus.io/docs/alerting/latest/configuration/#webhook_config):
- Issue author: `GitLab Alert Bot`
- Issue title: Extract from `annotations/title`, `annotations/summary` or `labels/alertname`
- Alert `Summary`: A list of properties
- `starts_at`: Alert start time via `startsAt`
- `full_query`: Alert query extracted from `generatorURL`
- Optional list of attached annotations extracted from `annotations/*`
- Alert [GFM](../../user/markdown.md): GitLab Flavored Markdown from `annotations/gitlab_incident_markdown`
When GitLab receives a **Recovery Alert**, it closes the associated issue.
This action is recorded as a system message on the issue indicating that it
was closed automatically by the GitLab Alert bot.
To further customize the issue, you can add labels, mentions, or any other supported
[quick action](../../user/project/quick_actions.md) in the selected issue template,
which applies to all incidents. To limit quick actions or other information to
only specific types of alerts, use the `annotations/gitlab_incident_markdown` field.
Since [version 12.2](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/63373),
GitLab tags each incident issue with the `incident` label automatically. If the label
does not yet exist, it is also created automatically.
If the metric exceeds the threshold of the alert for over 5 minutes, GitLab sends
an email to all [Maintainers and Owners](../../user/permissions.md#project-members-permissions)
of the project.
