| 86 | ## Troubleshooting |
| 87 | |
| 88 | ### Test Notification |
| 89 | |
| 90 | You can run the following command by hand, to test alerts configuration: |
| 91 | |
| 92 | ```bash |
| 93 | # become user netdata |
| 94 | sudo su -s /bin/bash netdata |
| 95 | |
| 96 | # enable debugging info on the console |
| 97 | export NETDATA_ALARM_NOTIFY_DEBUG=1 |
| 98 | |
| 99 | # send test alarms to sysadmin |
| 100 | /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/alarm-notify.sh test |
| 101 | |
| 102 | # send test alarms to any role |
| 103 | /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/alarm-notify.sh test "ROLE" |
| 104 | ``` |
| 105 | |
