| 17 | [ntfy](https://ntfy.sh/) (pronounce: notify) is a simple HTTP-based [pub-sub](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publish%E2%80%93subscribe_pattern) notification service. It allows you to send notifications to your phone or desktop via scripts from any computer, entirely without signup, cost or setup. It's also [open source](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy) if you want to run your own server. |
| 18 | You can send alerts to an ntfy server using Netdata's Agent alert notification feature, which supports dozens of endpoints, user roles, and more. |

| 23 | ## Setup |
| 24 | |
| 25 | |
| 26 | ### Prerequisites |
| 27 | |
| 28 | #### |
| 29 | |
| 30 | - (Optional) A [self-hosted ntfy server](https://docs.ntfy.sh/faq/#can-i-self-host-it), in case you don't want to use https://ntfy.sh |
| 31 | - A new [topic](https://ntfy.sh/#subscribe) for the notifications to be published to |
| 32 | - Access to the terminal where Netdata Agent is running |
| 33 | |
| 34 | |
| 35 | |
| 36 | ### Configuration |
| 37 | |
| 38 | #### Options |
| 39 | |
| 40 | The following options can be defined for this notification |
| 41 | |

| 46 | | Option | Description | Default | Required | |
| 47 | |:-----|:------------|:--------|:---------:| |
| 48 | | SEND_NTFY | Set `SEND_NTFY` to YES | YES | yes | |
| 49 | | [DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_NTFY](#option-default-recipient-ntfy) | URL formed by the server-topic combination you want the alert notifications to be sent to. Unless hosting your own server, the server should always be set to https://ntfy.sh. | | yes | |
| 50 | | [NTFY_USERNAME](#option-ntfy-username) | The username for netdata to use to authenticate with an ntfy server. | | no | |
| 51 | | [NTFY_PASSWORD](#option-ntfy-password) | The password for netdata to use to authenticate with an ntfy server. | | no | |
| 52 | | [NTFY_ACCESS_TOKEN](#option-ntfy-access-token) | The access token for netdata to use to authenticate with an ntfy server. | | no | |
| 53 | |
| 54 | <a id="option-default-recipient-ntfy"></a> |
| 55 | ##### DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_NTFY |
| 56 | |
| 57 | You can define multiple recipient URLs like this: `https://SERVER1/TOPIC1` `https://SERVER2/TOPIC2` |
| 58 | |
| 59 | All roles will default to this variable if left unconfigured. |
| 60 | |
| 61 | You can then have different servers and/or topics per role, by editing DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_NTFY with the server-topic combination you want, in the following entries at the bottom of the same file: |
| 62 | ```text |
| 63 | role_recipients_ntfy[sysadmin]="https://SERVER1/TOPIC1" |
| 64 | role_recipients_ntfy[domainadmin]="https://SERVER2/TOPIC2" |
| 65 | role_recipients_ntfy[dba]="https://SERVER3/TOPIC3" |
| 66 | role_recipients_ntfy[webmaster]="https://SERVER4/TOPIC4" |
| 67 | role_recipients_ntfy[proxyadmin]="https://SERVER5/TOPIC5" |
| 68 | role_recipients_ntfy[sitemgr]="https://SERVER6/TOPIC6" |
| 69 | ``` |
| 70 | |
| 71 | |
| 72 | <a id="option-ntfy-username"></a> |
| 73 | ##### NTFY_USERNAME |
| 74 | |
| 75 | Only useful on self-hosted ntfy instances. See [users and roles](https://docs.ntfy.sh/config/#users-and-roles) for details. |
| 76 | Ensure that your user has proper read/write access to the provided topic in `DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_NTFY` |
| 77 | |
| 78 | |
| 79 | <a id="option-ntfy-password"></a> |
| 80 | ##### NTFY_PASSWORD |
| 81 | |
| 82 | Only useful on self-hosted ntfy instances. See [users and roles](https://docs.ntfy.sh/config/#users-and-roles) for details. |
| 83 | Ensure that your user has proper read/write access to the provided topic in `DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_NTFY` |
| 84 | |
| 85 | |
| 86 | <a id="option-ntfy-access-token"></a> |
| 87 | ##### NTFY_ACCESS_TOKEN |
| 88 | |
| 89 | This can be used in place of `NTFY_USERNAME` and `NTFY_PASSWORD` to authenticate with a self-hosted ntfy instance. See [access tokens](https://docs.ntfy.sh/config/?h=access+to#access-tokens) for details. |
| 90 | Ensure that the token user has proper read/write access to the provided topic in `DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_NTFY` |

| 98 | #### via File |
| 99 | |
| 100 | The configuration file name for this integration is `health_alarm_notify.conf`. |
| 101 | |
| 102 | |
| 103 | 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 |
| 104 | Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/netdata-agent/configuration/README.md#locate-your-config-directory). |
| 105 | |
| 106 | ```bash |
| 107 | cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata |
| 108 | sudo ./edit-config health_alarm_notify.conf |
| 109 | ``` |
| 110 | |
| 111 | ##### Examples |
| 112 | |
| 113 | ###### Basic Configuration |
| 114 | |
| 115 | |
| 116 | |
| 117 | ```yaml |
| 118 | SEND_NTFY="YES" |
| 119 | DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_NTFY="https://ntfy.sh/netdata-X7seHg7d3Tw9zGOk https://ntfy.sh/netdata-oIPm4IK1IlUtlA30" |
| 120 | |
| 121 | ``` |
| 122 | |
| 123 | |
| 124 | ## Troubleshooting |
| 125 | |
| 126 | ### Test Notification |
| 127 | |
| 128 | You can run the following command by hand, to test alerts configuration: |
| 129 | |
| 130 | ```bash |
| 131 | # become user netdata |
| 132 | sudo su -s /bin/bash netdata |
| 133 | |
| 134 | # enable debugging info on the console |
| 135 | export NETDATA_ALARM_NOTIFY_DEBUG=1 |
| 136 | |
| 137 | # send test alarms to sysadmin |
| 138 | /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/alarm-notify.sh test |
| 139 | |
| 140 | # send test alarms to any role |
| 141 | /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/alarm-notify.sh test "ROLE" |
| 142 | ``` |
| 143 | |
| 144 | Note that this will test _all_ alert mechanisms for the selected role. |
