| 23 | |
| 24 | |
| 25 | ### Prerequisites |
| 26 | |
| 27 | #### |
| 28 | |
| 29 | - Access to the terminal where Netdata Agent is running |
| 30 | |
| 31 | |
| 32 | |
| 33 | ### Configuration |
| 34 | |
| 35 | #### Options |
| 36 | |
| 37 | The following options can be defined for this notification |
| 38 | |
| 39 | <details open><summary>Config Options</summary> |
| 40 | |
| 41 | |
| 42 | |
| 43 | | Option | Description | Default | Required | |
| 44 | |:-----|:------------|:--------|:---------:| |
| 45 | | SEND_CUSTOM | Set `SEND_CUSTOM` to YES | YES | yes | |
| 46 | | [DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_CUSTOM](#option-default-recipient-custom) | This value is dependent on how you handle the `${to}` variable inside the `custom_sender()` function. | | yes | |
| 47 | | [custom_sender()](#option-custom-sender) | You can look at the other senders in `/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/alarm-notify.sh` for examples of how to modify the function in this configuration file. | | no | |
| 48 | |
| 49 | <a id="option-default-recipient-custom"></a> |
| 50 | ##### DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_CUSTOM |
| 51 | |
| 52 | All roles will default to this variable if left unconfigured. You can edit `DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_CUSTOM` with the variable you want, in the following entries at the bottom of the same file: |
| 53 | ``` |
| 54 | role_recipients_custom[sysadmin]="systems" |
| 55 | role_recipients_custom[domainadmin]="domains" |
| 56 | role_recipients_custom[dba]="databases systems" |
| 57 | role_recipients_custom[webmaster]="marketing development" |
| 58 | role_recipients_custom[proxyadmin]="proxy-admin" |
| 59 | role_recipients_custom[sitemgr]="sites" |
| 60 | ``` |
| 61 | |
| 62 | |
| 63 | <a id="option-custom-sender"></a> |
| 64 | ##### custom_sender() |
| 65 | |
| 66 | The following is a sample custom_sender() function in health_alarm_notify.conf, to send an SMS via an imaginary HTTPS endpoint to the SMS gateway: |
| 67 | ``` |
| 68 | custom_sender() { |
| 69 | # example human readable SMS |
| 70 | local msg="${host} ${status_message}: ${alarm} ${raised_for}" |
| 71 | |
| 72 | # limit it to 160 characters and encode it for use in a URL |
| 73 | urlencode "${msg:0:160}" >/dev/null; msg="${REPLY}" |
| 74 | |
| 75 | # a space separated list of the recipients to send alarms to |
| 76 | to="${1}" |
| 77 | |
| 78 | for phone in ${to}; do |
| 79 | httpcode=$(docurl -X POST \ |
| 80 | --data-urlencode "From=XXX" \ |
| 81 | --data-urlencode "To=${phone}" \ |
| 82 | --data-urlencode "Body=${msg}" \ |
| 83 | -u "${accountsid}:${accounttoken}" \ |
| 84 | https://domain.website.com/) |
| 85 | |
| 86 | if [ "${httpcode}" = "200" ]; then |
| 87 | info "sent custom notification ${msg} to ${phone}" |
| 88 | sent=$((sent + 1)) |
| 89 | else |
| 90 | error "failed to send custom notification ${msg} to ${phone} with HTTP error code ${httpcode}." |
| 91 | fi |
| 92 | done |
| 93 | } |
| 94 | ``` |
| 95 | |

| 103 | |
| 104 | #### via File |
| 105 | |
| 106 | The configuration file name for this integration is `health_alarm_notify.conf`. |
| 107 | |
| 108 | |
| 109 | You can edit the configuration file using the [`edit-config`](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/netdata-agent/configuration/README.md#edit-configuration-files) script from the |
| 110 | Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/netdata-agent/configuration/README.md#locate-your-config-directory). |
| 111 | |
| 112 | ```bash |
| 113 | cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata |
| 114 | sudo ./edit-config health_alarm_notify.conf |
| 115 | ``` |
| 116 | |
| 117 | ##### Examples |
| 118 | |
| 119 | ###### Basic Configuration |
| 120 | |
| 121 | |
| 122 | |
| 123 | ```yaml |
| 124 | #------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| 125 | # custom notifications |
| 126 | |
| 127 | SEND_CUSTOM="YES" |
| 128 | DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_CUSTOM="" |
| 129 | |
| 130 | # The custom_sender() is a custom function to do whatever you need to do |
| 131 | custom_sender() { |
| 132 | # example human readable SMS |
| 133 | local msg="${host} ${status_message}: ${alarm} ${raised_for}" |
| 134 | |
| 135 | # limit it to 160 characters and encode it for use in a URL |
| 136 | urlencode "${msg:0:160}" >/dev/null; msg="${REPLY}" |
| 137 | |
| 138 | # a space separated list of the recipients to send alarms to |
| 139 | to="${1}" |
| 140 | |
| 141 | for phone in ${to}; do |
| 142 | httpcode=$(docurl -X POST \ |
| 143 | --data-urlencode "From=XXX" \ |
| 144 | --data-urlencode "To=${phone}" \ |
| 145 | --data-urlencode "Body=${msg}" \ |
| 146 | -u "${accountsid}:${accounttoken}" \ |
| 147 | https://domain.website.com/) |
| 148 | |
| 149 | if [ "${httpcode}" = "200" ]; then |
| 150 | info "sent custom notification ${msg} to ${phone}" |
| 151 | sent=$((sent + 1)) |
| 152 | else |
| 153 | error "failed to send custom notification ${msg} to ${phone} with HTTP error code ${httpcode}." |
| 154 | fi |
| 155 | done |
| 156 | } |
| 157 | |
| 158 | ``` |
| 159 | |
| 160 | |
| 161 | ## Troubleshooting |
| 162 | |
| 163 | ### Test Notification |
| 164 | |
| 165 | You can run the following command by hand, to test alerts configuration: |
| 166 | |
| 167 | ```bash |
| 168 | # become user netdata |
| 169 | sudo su -s /bin/bash netdata |
| 170 | |
| 171 | # enable debugging info on the console |
| 172 | export NETDATA_ALARM_NOTIFY_DEBUG=1 |
| 173 | |
| 174 | # send test alarms to sysadmin |
| 175 | /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/alarm-notify.sh test |
| 176 | |
| 177 | # send test alarms to any role |
| 178 | /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/alarm-notify.sh test "ROLE" |
| 179 | ``` |
| 180 | |
| 181 | Note that this will test _all_ alert mechanisms for the selected role. |
