Please notice that you need to create a secret with a Slack Webhook url manually, otherwise the alertmanager will not be able to work properly. You can create the secret with the following command, but you need to replace the your/webhook/url with your actual Slack Webhook url, and the name-of-namespace-of-monitoring-stack with the namespace where the monitoring stack is installed:

    kubectl create secret generic alertmanager-secrets \
  -n name-of-namespace-of-monitoring-stack \
  --from-literal="slack-api-url=https://hooks.slack.com/services/your/webhook/url"

Install the monitoring stack:

    helm install ms monitoring-charts/monitoring-stack --values ./values.yaml
