These methods work independently _or_ in +parallel, which means you can enable both at the same time to send alert notifications to any number of endpoints. + +Both methods use a node's health alerts to generate the content of alert notifications. Read our documentation on [configuring alerts](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/REFERENCE.md) to change the preconfigured thresholds or to create tailored alerts for your +infrastructure. + +Netdata Cloud offers [centralized alert notifications](#netdata-cloud) via email, which leverages the health status +information already streamed to Netdata Cloud from connected nodes to send notifications to those who have enabled them. + +The Netdata Agent has a [notification system](#netdata-agent) that supports more than a dozen services, such as email, +Slack, PagerDuty, Twilio, Amazon SNS, Discord, and much more. + +For example, use centralized alert notifications in Netdata Cloud for immediate, zero-configuration alert notifications +for your team, then configure individual nodes send notifications to a PagerDuty endpoint for an automated incident +response process. + +## Netdata Cloud + +Netdata Cloud's [centralized alert +notifications](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/alerts-notifications/notifications.md) is a zero-configuration way to +get notified when an anomaly or incident strikes any node or application in your infrastructure. The advantage of using +centralized alert notifications from Netdata Cloud is that you don't have to worry about configuring each node in your +infrastructure. + +To enable centralized alert notifications for a Space, click on **Manage Space** in the left-hand menu, then click on +the **Notifications** tab. Click the toggle switch next to **E-mail** to enable this notification method. + +Next, enable notifications on a user level by clicking on your profile icon, then **Profile** in the dropdown. The +**Notifications** tab reveals rich management settings, including the ability to enable/disable methods entirely or +choose what types of notifications to receive from each War Room. + + + +See the [centralized alert notifications](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/alerts-notifications/notifications.md) +reference doc for further details about what information is conveyed in an email notification, flood protection, and +more. + +## Netdata Agent + +The Netdata Agent's [notification system](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/notifications/README.md) runs on every node and dispatches +notifications based on configured endpoints and roles. You can enable multiple endpoints on any one node _and_ use Agent +notifications in parallel with centralized alert notifications in Netdata Cloud. + +> ❗ If you want to enable notifications from multiple nodes in your infrastructure, each running the Netdata Agent, you +> must configure each node individually. + +Below, we'll use [Slack notifications](#enable-slack-notifications) as an example of the process of enabling any +notification platform. + +### Supported notification endpoints + +- [**alerta.io**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/notifications/alerta/README.md) +- [**Amazon SNS**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/notifications/awssns/README.md) +- [**Custom endpoint**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/notifications/custom/README.md) +- [**Discord**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/notifications/discord/README.md) +- [**Dynatrace**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/notifications/dynatrace/README.md) +- [**Email**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/notifications/email/README.md) +- [**Flock**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/notifications/flock/README.md) +- [**Gotify**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/notifications/gotify/README.md) +- [**IRC**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/notifications/irc/README.md) +- [**Kavenegar**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/notifications/kavenegar/README.md) +- [**Matrix**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/notifications/matrix/README.md) +- [**Messagebird**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/notifications/messagebird/README.md) +- [**Microsoft Teams**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/notifications/msteams/README.md) +- [**Netdata Agent dashboard**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/notifications/web/README.md) +- [**Opsgenie**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/notifications/opsgenie/README.md) +- [**PagerDuty**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/notifications/pagerduty/README.md) +- [**Prowl**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/notifications/prowl/README.md) +- [**PushBullet**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/notifications/pushbullet/README.md) +- [**PushOver**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/notifications/pushover/README.md) +- [**Rocket.Chat**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/notifications/rocketchat/README.md) +- [**Slack**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/notifications/slack/README.md) +- [**SMS Server Tools 3**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/notifications/smstools3/README.md) +- [**Syslog**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/notifications/syslog/README.md) +- [**Telegram**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/notifications/telegram/README.md) +- [**Twilio**](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/notifications/twilio/README.md) + + |
