Deployment of Alertmanager from binary #48

Closed JavierZunzunegui closed 7 years ago

Allowing for deployment of alertmanager directly from binary, almost identical to how its being done in the default prometheus recipe. The 'source' deployment is left as default, but I found the binary more useful for deploying the beta versions https://github.com/prometheus/alertmanager/releases .

Note moving away from 0.0.4 into the beta versions involves significant changes to the config (for starters, it's .yml), I am doing that by changing ['prometheus']['alermanager']['config_template_name'] and ...["config.file"] and running on the parent recipe: template "/tmp/alertmanager.yml" do source 'alertmanager.yml.erb' mode 0644 end

Note also that alertmanager needs to run as root (['prometheus']['user'] and ['prometheus']['group'] must be root) otherwise has some issues with permissions.
