This page contains instructions on how to enable the Alertmanager to Matrix chat notifications in the Observer solution.

Project https://github.com/metio/matrix-alertmanager-receiver is used for forwarding alerts to a Matrix room.

To use it, fill your matrix credentials in matrix-alertmanager/matrix-alertmanager-receiver.yaml ConfigMap and deploy it:

kubectl apply -f matrix-alertmanager/matrix-alertmanager-receiver.yaml

You can modify other settings according to the mentioned project docs in the ConfigMap.

You have to also uncomment a related section in values-observer.yaml alertmanager section. The sections related to Alertmanager notifications in the values-observer-scs.yaml values file are already uncommented.
