Can not send alerts to telegram

Hello! I am new in k8s and Prometheus. Could you please give an advice what could be the problem and what to check?
I’ve created 3 VM’s with UbuntuServer 22.04 in VirtualBox with 1 NAT and 1 VirtualHost adapter each. Installed docker 24.0.5 and kubernetes 1.22.10-00 with flannel network.
(from https://github.com/flannel-io/flannel/releases/latest/download/kube-flannel.yml)
Then I installed kube-prometheus-stack from https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts.
So I have these pods in monitoring namespace:

kubectl get pods -n monitoring
NAME                                               		 READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   	 AGE
alertmanager-kube-prometheus-stack-alertmanager-0  		 2/2     Running   8 (107m ago)    8h
kube-prometheus-stack-grafana-5d5986498-j4cdx      		 3/3     Running   15 (107m ago)   10h
kube-prometheus-stack-kube-state-metrics-787df9c684-xlpnh   1/1     Running   15 (107m ago)   2d10h
kube-prometheus-stack-operator-7b8745877f-7qrnb    		 1/1     Running   15 (107m ago)   2d10h

kube-prometheus-stack-prometheus-node-exporter-76gzt   	 1/1     Running   14 (107m ago)   2d10h
kube-prometheus-stack-prometheus-node-exporter-k4x9d   	 1/1     Running   20 (107m ago)   2d10h
prometheus-kube-prometheus-stack-prometheus-0      		 2/2     Running   30 (107m ago)   2d10h

And I want to send messages to telegram on alerts. I created telegram bot added it to new channel and copied its token and chat id. When I try to test a new telegram contact point in grafana web interface I’m getting error like this: Failed to send test alert.: the receiver timed out: failed to send telegram message: Post “https://api.telegram.org/bot/sendMessage”: context deadline exceeded

in grafana log I see this:

logger=ngalert.notifier.telegram notifierUID=d46231dc-72cb-4da5-8729-349c0e65b582 t=2023-12-13T18:08:20.414859711Z level=error msg="Missing receiver"

tcp: lookup raw.githubusercontent.com: i/o timeout" duration=10.002185432s

Is the problem is that I didn’t configure a receiver in alertmanager?
I’ve also tried to configure an alertmanager by configMap like this:

global:
     resolve_timeout: 5m

   route:
     group_by: ['alertname', 'severity']
     group_wait: 10s
     group_interval: 10s
     repeat_interval: 1h
     receiver: 'my-telegram'

   receivers:
   - name: 'my-telegram'
     telegram_configs:
     - bot_token: '<MyTelegramBotToken>'
       api_url: 'https://api.telegram.org'
       chat_id: <MyTelegramChatId>
       parse_mode: ''

But no success, and it’s harder to debug. So I wonder if there is a way to check it easier like with grafana web interface.

I’ve also checked prometheus web interface. There are such firing alerts:
AlertmanagerClusterDown (1 active)
etcdMembersDown (1 active)
etcdInsufficientMembers (1 active)
TargetDown (6 active)
Watchdog (1 active)
NodeClockNotSynchronising (3 active)

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Can you explain what this has to do with Gitlab? I think you are on the wrong forum.

Sorry, my mistake. Is there a way to remove it?
