# Alerting Overview

Alerting with Prometheus is separated into two parts. Alerting rules in
Prometheus servers send alerts to an Alertmanager. The [Alertmanager](alertmanager.md)
then manages those alerts, including silencing, inhibition, aggregation and
sending out notifications via methods such as email, on-call notification systems, and chat platforms.

The main steps to setting up alerting and notifications are:

* Setup and [configure](configuration.md) the Alertmanager
* [Configure Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/configuration/#alertmanager_config) to talk to the Alertmanager
* Create [alerting rules](https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/configuration/alerting_rules/) in Prometheus
