You can specify the implementation in the data source's Settings page.
When using Prometheus, contact points and notification policies are read-only in the Grafana Alerting UI, because it doesn't support updates to the configuration using HTTP API.
## Configure the data source
**To access the data source configuration page:**
1. Select the **Data sources** section from the **Administration** menu
2. Select the **Alertmanager** data source
Set the data source's basic configuration options carefully:
| Name | Description |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Name** | Sets the name you use to refer to the data source |
| **Default** | Sets whether the data source is pre-selected for new panels and queries |
| **Alertmanager** | |
| **Implementation** | Alertmanager implementation. **Mimir**, **Cortex,** and **Prometheus** are supported |
| **Receive Grafana Alerts** | When enabled the Alertmanager receives alert instances from Grafana-managed alert rules. **Important:** It works only if Grafana alerting is configured to send its alert instances to external Alertmanagers |
| **HTTP** | |
| **URL** | Sets the HTTP protocol, IP, and port of your Alertmanager instance, such as `https://alertmanager.example.org:9093` |
| **Access** | Only **Server** access mode is functional |
| | |
## Provision the Alertmanager data source
You can provision Alertmanager data sources by updating Grafana's configuration files.
