-Learn how to send alerts to an ntfy server using Netdata's Agent alert notification feature, which supports dozens of endpoints, user roles, and more.
+# ntfy
-> ### 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.
-[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.

+<img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/maintained%20by-Netdata-%2300ab44" />
+
+## 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
-- terminal access to the Agent you wish to configure
+- Access to the terminal where Netdata Agent is running
-## Configure Netdata to send alert notifications to ntfy
-> ### 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.
-Edit `health_alarm_notify.conf`, changes to this file do not require restarting Netdata:
+### Configuration
-1. Set `SEND_NTFY` to `YES`
-2. Set `DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_NTFY` to the URL formed by the server-topic combination you want the alert notifications to be sent to. Unless you are hosting your own server, the server should always be set to [https://ntfy.sh](https://ntfy.sh)
+#### File
- You can define multiple recipient URLs like this: `https://SERVER1/TOPIC1 https://SERVER2/TOPIC2`
- All roles will default to this variable if left unconfigured.
+The configuration file name for this integration is `health_alarm_notify.conf`.
-> ### Warning
-> All topics published on https://ntfy.sh are public, so anyone can subscribe to them and follow your notifications. To avoid that, ensure the topic is unique enough using a long, randomly generated ID, like in the following examples.
->
-An example of a working configuration with two topics as recipients, using the [https://ntfy.sh](https://ntfy.sh) server would be:
+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).

-SEND_NTFY="YES"

-## Test the notification method
-To test this alert 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.
+##### 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.
