Notifications

When Prometheus generates an alert, it sends it to Alertmanager. The Alertmanager is a router for alerts. It listens for alerts (usually from Prometheus). Some routing rules are applied and the alerts are forwarded to other tools (like mails, sms...)

Karma

Karma connects to Alertmanager and shows the alerts in a graphical user interface.
