-Learn how to send notifications to Matrix network rooms using Netdata's Agent alert notification feature, which supports dozens of endpoints, user roles, and more.

-> ### Note
->
-> This file assumes you have read the [Introduction to Agent alert notifications](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/notifications/README.md), detailing how the Netdata Agent's alert notification method works.

+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+#### 
 
 - The url of the homeserver (`https://homeserver:port`).
 - Credentials for connecting to the homeserver, in the form of a valid access token for your account (or for a dedicated notification account). These tokens usually don't expire.
 - The room ids that you want to sent the notification to.
+- Access to the terminal where Netdata Agent is running

+
 
-## Configure Netdata to send alert notifications to Matrix
+### Configuration
 
-> ### Info
->
-> This file mentions editing configuration files.  
->
-> - To edit configuration files in a safe way, we provide the [`edit config` script](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md#use-edit-config-to-edit-configuration-files) located in your [Netdata config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md#the-netdata-config-directory) (typically is `/etc/netdata`) that creates the proper file and opens it in an editor automatically.  
-> Note that to run the script you need to be inside your Netdata config directory.
->
-> It is recommended to use this way for configuring Netdata.
+#### File
 
-Edit `health_alarm_notify.conf`, changes to this file do not require restarting Netdata:
+The configuration file name for this integration is `health_alarm_notify.conf`.
 
-1. Set `SEND_MATRIX` to `YES`.
-2. Set `MATRIX_HOMESERVER` to the URL of the Matrix homeserver.
-3. Set `MATRIX_ACCESSTOKEN` to the access token from your Matrix account.  
-    To obtain the access token, you can use the following `curl` command:
 
-    ```bash
-    curl -XPOST -d '{"type":"m.login.password", "user":"example", "password":"wordpass"}' "https://homeserver:8448/_matrix/client/r0/login"
-    ```
+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

+## 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"
 ```
 
-## Test the notification method
+Note that this will test _all_ alert mechanisms for the selected role.
+
 
-To test this alert notification method refer to the ["Testing Alert Notifications"](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/notifications/README.md#testing-alert-notifications) section of the Agent alert notifications page.
