+
+
+[ntfy](https://ntfy.sh/) (pronounce: notify) is a simple HTTP-based [pub-sub](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publish%E2%80%93subscribe_pattern) notification service. It allows you to send notifications to your phone or desktop via scripts from any computer, entirely without signup, cost or setup. It's also [open source](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy) if you want to run your own server.
+You can send alerts to an ntfy server using Netdata's Agent alert notification feature, which supports dozens of endpoints, user roles, and more.

+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+####
+
+- (Optional) A [self-hosted ntfy server](https://docs.ntfy.sh/faq/#can-i-self-host-it), in case you don't want to use https://ntfy.sh
+- A new [topic](https://ntfy.sh/#subscribe) for the notifications to be published to
+- Access to the terminal where Netdata Agent is running
+
+
+
+### Configuration
+
+#### File
+
+The configuration file name for this integration is `health_alarm_notify.conf`.
+
+
+You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the
+Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md#the-netdata-config-directory).
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
+sudo ./edit-config health_alarm_notify.conf
+```
+#### Options
+
+The following options can be defined for this notification
+
+<details><summary>Config Options</summary>
+
+| Name | Description | Default | Required |
+|:----|:-----------|:-------|:--------:|
+| SEND_NTFY | Set `SEND_NTFY` to YES | YES | yes |
+| DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_NTFY | URL formed by the server-topic combination you want the alert notifications to be sent to. Unless hosting your own server, the server should always be set to https://ntfy.sh. | | yes |
+| NTFY_USERNAME | The username for netdata to use to authenticate with an ntfy server. | | no |
+| NTFY_PASSWORD | The password for netdata to use to authenticate with an ntfy server. | | no |
+| NTFY_ACCESS_TOKEN | The access token for netdata to use to authenticate with an ntfy server. | | no |
+
+##### DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_NTFY
+
+You can define multiple recipient URLs like this: `https://SERVER1/TOPIC1` `https://SERVER2/TOPIC2`
+
+All roles will default to this variable if left unconfigured.
+
+You can then have different servers and/or topics per role, by editing DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_NTFY with the server-topic combination you want, in the following entries at the bottom of the same file:
+```conf
+role_recipients_ntfy[sysadmin]="https://SERVER1/TOPIC1"
+role_recipients_ntfy[domainadmin]="https://SERVER2/TOPIC2"
+role_recipients_ntfy[dba]="https://SERVER3/TOPIC3"
+role_recipients_ntfy[webmaster]="https://SERVER4/TOPIC4"
+role_recipients_ntfy[proxyadmin]="https://SERVER5/TOPIC5"
+role_recipients_ntfy[sitemgr]="https://SERVER6/TOPIC6"
+```
+
+
+##### NTFY_USERNAME
+
+Only useful on self-hosted ntfy instances. See [users and roles](https://docs.ntfy.sh/config/#users-and-roles) for details.
+Ensure that your user has proper read/write access to the provided topic in `DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_NTFY`
+
+
+##### NTFY_PASSWORD
+
+Only useful on self-hosted ntfy instances. See [users and roles](https://docs.ntfy.sh/config/#users-and-roles) for details.
+Ensure that your user has proper read/write access to the provided topic in `DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_NTFY`
+
+
+##### NTFY_ACCESS_TOKEN
+
+This can be used in place of `NTFY_USERNAME` and `NTFY_PASSWORD` to authenticate with a self-hosted ntfy instance. See [access tokens](https://docs.ntfy.sh/config/?h=access+to#access-tokens) for details.
+Ensure that the token user has proper read/write access to the provided topic in `DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_NTFY`
+
+
+</details>
+
+#### Examples
+
+##### Basic Configuration
+
+
+
+```yaml
+SEND_NTFY="YES"
+DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_NTFY="https://ntfy.sh/netdata-X7seHg7d3Tw9zGOk https://ntfy.sh/netdata-oIPm4IK1IlUtlA30"
+
+```
+
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Test Notification
+
+You can run the following command by hand, to test alerts configuration:
+
+```bash
+# become user netdata
+sudo su -s /bin/bash netdata
+
+# enable debugging info on the console
+export NETDATA_ALARM_NOTIFY_DEBUG=1
+
+# send test alarms to sysadmin
+/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/alarm-notify.sh test
+
+# send test alarms to any role
+/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/alarm-notify.sh test "ROLE"
+```
+
+Note that this will test _all_ alert mechanisms for the selected role.
