+# IRC
+
+This is what you will get:
+
+IRCCloud web client:\

+Irssi terminal client:

+
+You need:
+
+1. The `nc` utility. If you do not set the path, Netdata will search for it in your system `$PATH`.
+
+Set the path for `nc` in `/etc/netdata/health_alarm_notify.conf` (to edit it on your system run `/etc/netdata/edit-config health_alarm_notify.conf`), like this:
+
+```
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# external commands
+#
+# The full path of the nc command.
+# If empty, the system $PATH will be searched for it.
+# If not found, irc notifications will be silently disabled.
+nc="/usr/bin/nc"
+```
+
+2. Αn `IRC_NETWORK` to which your preferred channels belong to.
+3. One or more channels ( `DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_IRC` ) to post the messages to.
+4. An `IRC_NICKNAME` and an `IRC_REALNAME` to identify in IRC.
+
+Set them in `/etc/netdata/health_alarm_notify.conf` (to edit it on your system run `/etc/netdata/edit-config health_alarm_notify.conf`), like this:
+
+```
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# irc notification options
+#
+# irc notifications require only the nc utility to be installed.
+
+# multiple recipients can be given like this:
+# "<irc_channel_1> <irc_channel_2> ..."
+
+# enable/disable sending irc notifications
+SEND_IRC="YES"
+
+# if a role's recipients are not configured, a notification will not be sent.
+# (empty = do not send a notification for unconfigured roles):
+DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_IRC="#system-alarms"
+
+# The irc network to which the recipients belong. It must be the full network.
+IRC_NETWORK="irc.freenode.net"
+
+# The irc nickname which is required to send the notification. It must not be
+# an already registered name as the connection's MODE is defined as a 'guest'.
+IRC_NICKNAME="netdata-alarm-user"
+
+# The irc realname which is required in order to make the connection and is an
+# extra identifier.
+IRC_REALNAME="netdata-user"
+```
+
+You can define multiple channels like this: `#system-alarms #networking-alarms`.\
+You can also filter the notifications like this: `#system-alarms|critical`.\
+You can give different channels per **role** using these (at the same file):
+
+```
+role_recipients_irc[sysadmin]="#user-alarms #networking-alarms #system-alarms"
+role_recipients_irc[dba]="#databases-alarms"
+role_recipients_irc[webmaster]="#networking-alarms"
+```
+
+The keywords `#user-alarms`, `#networking-alarms`, `#system-alarms`, `#databases-alarms` are irc channels which belong to the specified IRC network.
