Create a Netdata integration in the `StackPulse Administration Portal`, and copy the `Endpoint` URL. + + + +2. On your node, navigate to `/etc/netdata/` and run the following command: + +```sh +$ ./edit-config health_alarm_notify.conf +``` + +3. Set the `STACKPULSE_WEBHOOK` variable to `Endpoint` URL you copied earlier: + +``` +SEND_STACKPULSE="YES" +STACKPULSE_WEBHOOK="https://hooks.stackpulse.io/v1/webhooks/YOUR_UNIQUE_ID" +``` + +4. Now restart Netdata using `sudo systemctl restart netdata`, or the [appropriate + method](/docs/configure/start-stop-restart.md) for your system. When your node creates an alarm, you can see the + associated notification on your StackPulse Administration Portal + +## React to alarms with playbooks + +StackPulse allow users to create `Playbooks` giving additional information about events that happen in specific +scenarios. For example, you could create a Playbook that responds to a "low disk space" alarm by compressing and +cleaning up storage partitions with dynamic data. + + + + +### Create Playbooks for Netdata alarms + +To create a Playbook, you need to access the StackPulse Administration Portal. After the initial setup, you need to +access the **TRIGGER** tab to define the scenarios used to trigger the event. The following variables are available: + +- `Hostname`: The host that generated the event. +- `Chart`: The name of the chart. +- `OldValue` : The previous value of the alarm. +- `Value`: The current value of the alarm. +- `Units` : The units of the value. +- `OldStatus` : The previous status: REMOVED, UNINITIALIZED, UNDEFINED, CLEAR, WARNING, CRITICAL. +- `State`: The current alarm status, the acceptable values are the same of `OldStatus`. +- `Alarm` : The name of the alarm, as given in Netdata's health.d entries. +- `Date` : The timestamp this event occurred. +- `Duration` : The duration in seconds of the previous alarm state. +- `NonClearDuration` : The total duration in seconds this is/was non-clear. +- `Description` : A short description of the alarm copied from the alarm definition. +- `CalcExpression` : The expression that was evaluated to trigger the alarm. +- `CalcParamValues` : The values of the parameters in the expression, at the time of the evaluation. +- `TotalWarnings` : Total number of alarms in WARNING state. +- `TotalCritical` : Total number of alarms in CRITICAL state. +- `ID` : The unique id of the alarm that generated this event. + +For more details how to create a scenario, take a look at the [StackPulse documentation](https://docs.stackpulse.io). + + |
