Cortextool alertmanager load gives "cortextool: error: requested resource not found, try --help" error

[geekyspartan]

I have cortex running locally with the 'fake' tenant/object id.
For testing out the alertmanager, I am using the below dummy config (alertmanager.yml):

global:
  smtp_smarthost: 'localhost:25'
  smtp_from: '[email protected]'

route:
  receiver: example-email

receivers:
 - name: example-email
   email_configs:
    - to: '[email protected]'

I have enabled the alertmanager in the cortex config:

alertmanager:
  enable_api: true

alertmanager_storage:
  backend: azure
  azure:
    account_name: ******
    account_key: ******
    container_name: ******
    endpoint_suffix: ******

when I try to run the cortextool to get the current AlertManager, I get the following output

cortextool alertmanager get --address=http://localhost:9009 --id=fake
INFO[0000] no alertmanager config currently exist for this user 

This is fine, as currently I don't have any AlertManager setup, so the output is correct.

Now, if I try to load a AlertManager via this command:
cortextool alertmanager load alertmanager.yml --address=http://localhost:9009 --id=fake

I get the following error:
cortextool: error: requested resource not found, try --help

I am not sure if I have to enable anything else in the cortex or if alertmanager.yml content is wrong.
My assumption is, if I am able to load a dummy alertmanager.yml, then I will be able to atleast open this url: http://localhost:9009/alertmanager

Actually, we changed our approach, so didn't work on this issue.
