+# Discordapp.com notifications
+
+This is what you will get:

+
+You need:
+
+1. The **incoming webhook URL** as given by Discord. Create a webhook by following the official [Discord documentation](https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/228383668-Intro-to-Webhooks). You can use the same on all your netdata servers (or you can have multiple if you like - your decision).
+2. One or more Discord channels to post the messages to.
+
+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:
+
+```
+###############################################################################
+# sending discord notifications
+
+# note: multiple recipients can be given like this:
+#                  "CHANNEL1 CHANNEL2 ..."
+
+# enable/disable sending discord notifications
+SEND_DISCORD="YES"
+
+# Create a webhook by following the official documentation -
+# https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/228383668-Intro-to-Webhooks
+DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL="https://discordapp.com/api/webhooks/XXXXXXXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
+
+# if a role's recipients are not configured, a notification will be send to
+# this discord channel (empty = do not send a notification for unconfigured
+# roles):
+DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_DISCORD="alarms"
+
+```
+
+You can define multiple channels like this: `alarms systems`.
+You can give different channels per **role** using these (at the same file):
+
+```
+role_recipients_discord[sysadmin]="systems"
+role_recipients_discord[dba]="databases systems"
+role_recipients_discord[webmaster]="marketing development"
+```
+
+The keywords `systems`, `databases`, `marketing`, `development` are discordapp.com channels (they should already exist within your discord server).
