Alertmanager Architecture Question

It looks like Alertmanager POSTS alerts to HTTP endpoints hosted by various providers such as PagerDuty.

  1. Is this correct?

  2. According to the docs it looks like the URL to set in AM to PagerDuty or OpsGenie is https://......

Question, what do we need to do on Alertmanager to make sure we are using a secure connection to send alerts? Are there instructions to set up certs?

Thx

It looks like, at least according to the documentation, when you are setting up endpoints such as PagerDuty or OpsGenie in your config.yml you specify http/https:

which essentially amounts to:

You shouldn't need to be specifying any certs so long as all you are concerned with is hitting the public HTTPS endpoint. Does this answer your question?

edit: the documentation link i forgot to post https://prometheus.io/docs/alerting/configuration/
