# 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:** New in Grafana 8.0.
>**Note:** Currently only the [Cortex implementation of Prometheus alertmanager](https://cortexmetrics.io/docs/proposals/scalable-alertmanager/) is supported.
## Provision the Alertmanager data source
Configure the Alertmanager data sources by updating Grafana's configuration files. For more information on how it works and the settings available, refer to the [provisioning docs page]({{< relref "../administration/provisioning/#datasources" >}}).
Here is an example for provisioning the Alertmanager data source:
```yaml
apiVersion: 1
datasources:
- name: Alertmanager
type: alertmanager
url: http://localhost:9090
access: proxy
# optionally
basicAuth: true
basicAuthUser: my_user
basicAuthPassword: test_password
```
