-Learn how to send notifications to MessageBird using Netdata's Agent alert notification feature, which supports dozens of endpoints, user roles, and more.
+# MessageBird
-> ### 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.
-This is what you will get:

-## Prerequisites
+Send notifications to MessageBird using Netdata's Agent alert notification feature, which supports dozens of endpoints, user roles, and more.
-You will need:
-- an access key under 'API ACCESS (REST)' (you will want a live key), you can read more [here](https://developers.messagebird.com/quickstarts/sms/test-credits-api-keys/)
-- terminal access to the Agent you wish to configure
-## Configure Netdata to send alert notifications to MessageBird
+<img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/maintained%20by-Netdata-%2300ab44" />
-> ### 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.
+## Setup
-Edit `health_alarm_notify.conf`, changes to this file do not require restarting Netdata:
+### Prerequisites
-1. Set `SEND_MESSAGEBIRD` to `YES`.
-2. Set `MESSAGEBIRD_ACCESS_KEY` to your API access key.
-3. Set `MESSAGEBIRD_NUMBER` to the MessageBird number you want to use for the alert.
-4. Set `DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_MESSAGEBIRD` to the number you want the alert notification to be sent as an SMS.
- You can define multiple recipients like this: `+15555555555 +17777777777`.
- All roles will default to this variable if left unconfigured.
+####
-You can then have different recipients per **role**, by editing `DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_MESSAGEBIRD` with the number you want, in the following entries at the bottom of the same file:
+- An access key under 'API ACCESS (REST)' (you will want a live key), you can read more [here](https://developers.messagebird.com/quickstarts/sms/test-credits-api-keys/).
+- 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
+```

-## Test the notification method
-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.
+## 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.
