'Alerts firing on Prometheus but not on Alertmanager

I can't seem to find out why Alertmanager is not getting alerts from Prometheus. I would appreciate a swift assistance on this challenge. I'm fairly new with using Prometheus and Alertmanager. I am using a webhook for MsTeams to push the notifications from alertmanager.

Alertmanager.yml

global:
  resolve_timeout: 5m


route:
  group_by: ['critical','severity']
  group_wait: 10s
  group_interval: 10s
  repeat_interval: 1h
  receiver: 'alert_channel'


receivers:
- name: 'alert_channel'
  webhook_configs:
  - url: 'http://localhost:2000/alert_channel'
    send_resolved: true

prometheus.yml - (Just a part of it)

# my global config
global:
  scrape_interval:     15s # Set the scrape interval to every 15 seconds. Default is every 1 minute.
  evaluation_interval: 15s # Evaluate rules every 15 seconds. The default is every 1 minute.
  # scrape_timeout is set to the global default (10s).

# Alertmanager configuration
alerting:
  alertmanagers:
  - static_configs:
    - targets:
      - localhost:9093

# Load rules once and periodically evaluate them according to the global 'evaluation_interval'.
rule_files:
  # - "first_rules.yml"
  # - "second_rules.yml"
  - alert_rules.yml

# A scrape configuration containing exactly one endpoint to scrape:
# Here it's Prometheus itself.
scrape_configs:
  # The job name is added as a label `job=<job_name>` to any timeseries scraped from this config.
  - job_name: 'kafka'

    # metrics_path defaults to '/metrics'
    # scheme defaults to 'http'

    static_configs:
    - targets: ['localhost:8080']
      labels:
        service: 'Kafka'

But I don't see those alerts on alertmanager enter image description here

I'm out of ideas at this point. Please I need help. I've been on this since last week.

Solution 1:[1]

You have a mistake in your Alertmanager configuration. group_by expects a collection of label names and from what I am seeing critical is a label value, not the name. So simply remove critical and you should be good to go.

Also check out this blog posts, quite helpful https://www.robustperception.io/whats-the-difference-between-group_interval-group_wait-and-repeat_interval

Edit 1

If you want the receiver alert_channel to only receive alerts that have the severity critical you have to create a route and with a match attribute.

Something along these lines:

route:
  group_by: ['...']  # good if very low volum
  group_wait: 15s
  group_interval: 5m
  repeat_interval: 1h
  routes:
    - match:
        - severity: critical
      receiver: alert_channel

Edit 2

If this does not work as well try out this:

route:
  group_by: ['...']
  group_wait: 15s
  group_interval: 5m
  repeat_interval: 1h
  receiver: alert_channel

This should work. Check your Prometheus logs and see if you find hints there
