Description
What did you do?
Queried the /api/v1/status endpoint.
What did you expect to see?
The value for the --web.external_url flag.
Alertmanager version
v0.18.0
Note that the flag also missing from the Alertmanager UI. In comparison, the Prometheus status page has a "command line flags" sub-menu that shows all values in a table. I think this UI would be useful for Alertmanager, but that is a separate issue from API discovery.

Start at the /api/v1/status endpoint named in the issue and trace how its response is assembled. Verify how the --web.external_url value is handled, then confirm that the API exposes it while keeping the separate Alertmanager UI request out of scope.
