With just one system you can monitor +alerts from many other monitoring tools on a single screen. + +![](https://docs.alerta.io/en/latest/_images/alerta-screen-shot-3.png) + +Netadata alarms can be sent to Alerta so you can see in one place +alerts coming from many Netdata hosts or also from a multi-host +Netadata configuration. The big advantage over other notifications +systems is that there is a main view of all active alarms with +the most recent state, and it is also possible to view alarm history. + +## Deploying Alerta + +It is recommended to set up the server in a separated server, VM or +container. If you have other Nginx or Apache server in your organization, +it is recommended to proxy to this new server. + +The easiest way to install Alerta is to use the Docker image available +on [Docker hub][1]. Alternatively, follow the ["getting started"][2] +tutorial to deploy Alerta to an Ubuntu server. More advanced +configurations are out os scope of this tutorial but information +about different deployment scenaries can be found in the [docs][3]. + +[1]: https://hub.docker.com/r/alerta/alerta-web/ +[2]: http://alerta.readthedocs.io/en/latest/gettingstarted/tutorial-1-deploy-alerta.html +[3]: http://docs.alerta.io/en/latest/deployment.html + +## Send alarms to Alerta + +Step 1. Create an API key (if authentication is enabled) + +You will need an API key to send messages from any source, if +Alerta is configured to use authentication (recommended). To +create an API key go to "Configuration -> API Keys" and create +a new API key called "netdata" with `write:alerts` permission. + +Step 2. configure Netdata to send alarms to Alerta + +On your system run: + + $ /etc/netdata/edit-config health_alarm_notify.conf + +and modify the file as below: + +``` +# enable/disable sending alerta notifications +SEND_ALERTA="YES" + +# here set your alerta server API url +# this is the API url you defined when installed Alerta server, +# it is the same for all users. Do not include last slash. +ALERTA_WEBHOOK_URL="http://yourserver/alerta/api" + +# Login with an administrative user to you Alerta server and create an API KEY +# with write permissions. +ALERTA_API_KEY="INSERT_YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" + +# you can define environments in /etc/alertad.conf option ALLOWED_ENVIRONMENTS +# standard environments are Production and Development +# if a role's recipients are not configured, a notification will be send to +# this Environment (empty = do not send a notification for unconfigured roles): +DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_ALERTA="Production" +``` + +## Test alarms + +We can test alarms using the standard approach: + + $ /opt/netdata/netdata-plugins/plugins.d/alarm-notify.sh test + +Note: Netdata will send 3 alarms, and because last alarm is "CLEAR" +you will not see them in main Alerta page, you need to select to see +"closed" alarma in top-right lookup. A little change in `alarm-notify.sh` +that let us test each state one by one will be useful. + +For more information see [https://docs.alerta.io](https://docs.alerta.io) + +[![analytics](https://www.google-analytics.com/collect?v=1&aip=1&t=pageview&_s=1&ds=github&dr=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fnetdata%2Fnetdata&dl=https%3A%2F%2Fmy-netdata.io%2Fgithub%2Fhealth%2Fnotifications%2Falerta%2FREADME&_u=MAC~&cid=5792dfd7-8dc4-476b-af31-da2fdb9f93d2&tid=UA-64295674-3)]() |
