# Alertmanager data source
Grafana includes built-in support for Prometheus Alertmanager. It is presently in alpha and not accessible unless [alpha plugins are enabled in Grafana settings](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/administration/configuration/#enable_alpha). Once you add it as a data source, you can use the [Grafana alerting UI](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/alerting/) to manage silences, contact points as well as notification policies. A drop-down option in these pages allows you to switch between Grafana and any configured Alertmanager data sources .

> **Note:** Currently, the [Cortex implementation of Prometheus Alertmanager](https://cortexmetrics.io/docs/proposals/scalable-alertmanager/) is required to edit rules.
## Alertmanager implementations
[Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/) and [Cortex](https://cortexmetrics.io/) (default) implementations of Alertmanager are supported. You can specify implementation in the data source settings page. In case of Prometheus contact points and notification policies are read-only in the Grafana alerting UI, as it does not support updating configuration via HTTP API.
