+# Send notifications to Gotify
+
+[Gotify](https://gotify.net/) is a self-hosted push notification service created for sending and receiving messages in real time.
+
+## Configuring Gotify
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+To use Gotify as your notification service, you need an application token.
+You can generate a new token in the Gotify Web UI.
+
+### Configuration
+
+To set up Gotify in Netdata:
+
+1. Switch to your [config
+directory](/docs/configure/nodes.md) and edit the file `health_alarm_notify.conf` using the edit config script.
+
+ ```bash
+ ./edit-config health_alarm_notify.conf
+ ```
+
+2. Change the variable `GOTIFY_APP_TOKEN` to the application token you generated in the Gotify Web UI. Change
+`GOTIFY_APP_URL` to point to your Gotify instance.
+
+ ```conf
+ SEND_GOTIFY="YES"
+
+ # Application token
+ # Gotify instance url
+ GOTIFY_APP_TOKEN=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
+ GOTIFY_APP_URL=https://push.example.de/
+ ```
+
+ Changes to `health_alarm_notify.conf` do not require a Netdata restart.
+
+3. Test your Gotify notifications configuration by running the following commands, replacing `ROLE` with your preferred role:
+
+ ```sh
+ # become user netdata
+ sudo su -s /bin/bash netdata
+
+ # send a test alarm
+ /usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/alarm-notify.sh test ROLE
+ ```
+
+ 🟢 If everything works, you'll see alarms in Gotify:

+
+ 🔴 If sending the test notifications fails, check `/var/log/netdata/error.log` to find the relevant error message:
+
+ ```log
+ 2020-09-03 23:07:00: alarm-notify.sh: ERROR: failed to send Gotify notification for: hades test.chart.test_alarm is CRITICAL, with HTTP error code 401.
+ ```
