+You can add a new alarm definition either by editing an existing stock alarm config file under `health.d` (e.g. `/etc/netdata/edit-config health.d/load.conf`), or by adding a new `.conf` file under `/etc/netdata/health.d`. The documentation on how to define an alarm is in [health monitoring](../health/#health-monitoring). It is suggested to look at some of the stock alarm definitions, so you can ensure you understand how the various options work.
