# How to configure Prometheus AlertManager

Alerting with prometheus is two step process. First we setup alerts in Prometheus server and then we need to send alerts to the AlertManager.

	EnvSpeed = "MINIO_SCANNER_SPEED"

	IdleSpeed    = "idle_speed"
	EnvIdleSpeed = "MINIO_SCANNER_IDLE_SPEED"

	ExcessVersions    = "alert_excess_versions"
	EnvExcessVersions = "MINIO_SCANNER_ALERT_EXCESS_VERSIONS"

	ExcessFolders    = "alert_excess_folders"
	EnvExcessFolders = "MINIO_SCANNER_ALERT_EXCESS_FOLDERS"

	// All below are deprecated in October 2022 and
	// replaced them with a single speed parameter
	Delay            = "delay"

		config.HelpKV{
