NOTE: **Note:**
You will need at least Maintainer [permissions](../../permissions.md) to enable the Alert Management feature.
1. Follow the [instructions for toggling generic alerts](../integrations/generic_alerts.md#setting-up-generic-alerts)
1. You can now visit **{cloud-gear}** **Operations > Alerts** in your project's sidebar to [view a list](#alert-management-list) of alerts.
There are several ways to accept alerts into your GitLab project, as outlined below.
Enabling any of these methods will allow the Alerts list to display. After configuring
alerts, visit **{cloud-gear}** **Operations > Alerts** in your project's sidebar

### Enable a Generic Alerts endpoint
## Populate Alert data
GitLab provides the Generic Alerts endpoint so you can accept alerts from a third-party
alerts service. See the
[instructions for toggling generic alerts](../integrations/generic_alerts.md#setting-up-generic-alerts)
to add this option. After configuring the endpoint, the
[Alerts list](#alert-management-list) is enabled.
To populate data, see the instructions for
[customizing the payload](../integrations/generic_alerts.md) and making a
request to the alerts endpoint.
To populate the alerts with data, see [Customizing the payload](../integrations/generic_alerts.md#customizing-the-payload) for requests to the alerts endpoint.
### Enable GitLab-managed Prometheus alerts
You can install the GitLab-managed Prometheus application on your Kubernetes
cluster. For more information, see
[Managed Prometheus on Kubernetes](../integrations/prometheus.md#managed-prometheus-on-kubernetes).
When GitLab-managed Prometheus is installed, the [Alerts list](#alert-management-list)
is also enabled.
To populate the alerts with data, see
[GitLab-Managed Prometheus instances](../integrations/prometheus.md#managed-prometheus-instances).
### Enable external Prometheus alerts
You can configure an externally-managed Prometheus instance to send alerts
to GitLab. To set up this configuration, see the [configuring Prometheus](../integrations/prometheus.md#external-prometheus-instances) documentation. Activating the external Prometheus
configuration also enables the [Alerts list](#alert-management-list).
To populate the alerts with data, see
[External Prometheus instances](../integrations/prometheus.md#external-prometheus-instances).
