multi alertmanager-bot with single telegram token

[vtolstov]

I have problem:)
i have 4 dc that contains 2 prometheus servers with 2 alertmanager with 2 alertmanager-bots
1 server contains: promethes+alertmanager+alertmanager-bot

but when i'm for example get /alerts command to bot, i'm receive only one answer from one dc.
I don't want to create many bots, how can i work with multi dc mode ?

For now I'd probably create multiple bots for each data center. I'm not really sure how one can handle this case with Alertmanager itself.
It's definitely an interesting use case, I might need to tackle at work too.

I have the same problem

[vtolstov]

i'm contact telegram team and the best way to create application tokens and use it for bots ( https://my.telegram.org/apps )

@vtolstov can you please describe your approach?

[vtolstov]

when you use application token each app with token from telegram POV is the different client, so you can distinguish it and control

@vtolstov Could you please describe that some more? I don't get which token you generate how?

[vtolstov]

Try to check web page from telegram where you can get app keys

[timmy59100]

@vtolstov Do you mean this? I can generate only one app. And api_hash is the token for alermanager-bot?

[vtolstov]

Yes, try to connect with two apps with the same keys, it must looks like different clients
