@@ -5,6 +5,36 @@ To configure custom notifications, you will need to define the `custom_sender()`
You can look at the other senders in `/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/alarm-notify.sh` for examples.
As with other notifications, you will also need to define the recipient list in `DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_CUSTOM` and/or the `role_recipients_custom` array.
+The following is a sample `custom_sender` function to send an SMS via an imaginary HTTPS endpoint to the SMS gateway:
+```
+ custom_sender() {
+ # example human readable SMS
+ local msg="${host} ${status_message}: ${alarm} ${raised_for}"
+
+ # limit it to 160 characters and encode it for use in a URL
+ urlencode "${msg:0:160}" >/dev/null; msg="${REPLY}"
+
+ # a space separated list of the recipients to send alarms to
+ to="${1}"
+
+ for phone in ${to}; do
+ httpcode=$(docurl -X POST \
+ --data-urlencode "From=XXX" \
+ --data-urlencode "To=${phone}" \
+ --data-urlencode "Body=${msg}" \
+ -u "${accountsid}:${accounttoken}" \
+ https://domain.website.com/)
+
+ if [ "${httpcode}" = "200" ]; then
+ info "sent custom notification ${msg} to ${phone}"
+ sent=$((sent + 1))
+ else
+ error "failed to send custom notification ${msg} to ${phone} with HTTP error code ${httpcode}."
+ fi
+ done
+}
+```

Variables available to the custom_sender:
- ${to_custom} the list of recipients for the alarm
