Ability to notify an arbitrary HTTP endpoint about alertmanager HOT 9 CLOSED

I'd be wary of anything that involved process management in such a critical component as the alertmanager, but we could send off a HTTP request to an arbitrary endpoint.

Sure that would be nice, could be used to manage things such as up-scaling/down-scaling an app based on Prometheus metrics.

You should do that by querying prometheus directly, no need to get the alertmanager involved.

It's worth noting that you can query alerts directly from Prometheus.

I could use the ability to query alerts directly from Prometheus for my needs and still use the alert manager for notifications.

Unfortunately, I've not seen any documentation about querying Prometheus, is there an API exposed?

It's not documented (prometheus/prometheus#623), but if you look at the http requests the expression browser sends in Console mode you should be able to figure it out.

It's ok for me. Should I leave this issue open for any evolution?

With #70 in master, I guess the original question could be answered with yes?

I'm just cleaning up the JSON case at the moment, but after that you should be good to go.
