+> ### 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.
-And like this on your Android device:

+
+## Prerequisites
You will need:
-1. Sign up and log in to [pushbullet.com](https://www.pushbullet.com/)
-2. Create a new access token in your [account settings](https://www.pushbullet.com/#settings/account).
-3. Fill in the `PUSHBULLET_ACCESS_TOKEN` with the newly generated access token.
-4. Add the recipient emails or channel tags (each channel tag must be prefixed with #, e.g. #channeltag) to `DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_PUSHBULLET`.
- > 🚨 The pushbullet notification service will send emails to the email recipient, regardless of if they have a pushbullet account.
+- a Pushbullet access token that can be created in your [account settings](https://www.pushbullet.com/#settings/account)
+- terminal access to the Agent you wish to configure
-To add notification channels, run `/etc/netdata/edit-config health_alarm_notify.conf`
+## Configure Netdata to send alert notifications to Pushbullet
-You can change the configuration like this:
+> ### 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.

-###############################################################################
-# pushbullet (pushbullet.com) push notification options
+Edit `health_alarm_notify.conf`, changes to this file do not require restarting Netdata:
-# multiple recipients (a combination of email addresses or channel tags) can be given like this:
-# "user1@email.com user2@mail.com #channel1 #channel2"
+1. Set `Send_PUSHBULLET` to `YES`.
+2. Set `PUSHBULLET_ACCESS_TOKEN` to the token you generated.
+3. Set `DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_PUSHBULLET` to the email (e.g. `example@domain.com`) or the channel tag (e.g. `#channel`) you want the alert notifications to be sent to.
-# enable/disable sending pushbullet notifications
-SEND_PUSHBULLET="YES"
+ > ### Note
+ >
+ > Please note that the Pushbullet notification service will send emails to the email recipient, regardless of if they have a Pushbullet account or not.
+
+ You can define multiple entries like this: `user1@email.com user2@email.com`.
+ All roles will default to this variable if left unconfigured.
+4. While optional, you can also set `PUSHBULLET_SOURCE_DEVICE` to the identifier of the sending device.
-# Signup and Login to pushbullet.com
-# To get your Access Token, go to https://www.pushbullet.com/#settings/account
-# And create a new access token
-# Then just set the recipients emails and/or channel tags (channel tags must be prefixed with #)
-# Please note that the if an email in the DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_PUSHBULLET does
-# not have a pushbullet account, the pushbullet service will send an email
-# to that address instead
+You can then have different recipients per **role**, by editing `DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_PUSHBULLET` with the recipients you want, in the following entries at the bottom of the same file:
-# Without an access token, Netdata cannot send pushbullet notifications.
-PUSHBULLET_ACCESS_TOKEN="o.Sometokenhere"
+```conf
+role_recipients_pushbullet[sysadmin]="user1@email.com"
+role_recipients_pushbullet[domainadmin]="user2@mail.com"
+role_recipients_pushbullet[dba]="#channel1"
+role_recipients_pushbullet[webmaster]="#channel2"
+role_recipients_pushbullet[proxyadmin]="user3@mail.com"
+role_recipients_pushbullet[sitemgr]="user4@mail.com"
+```
+
+An example of a working configuration would be:
+
+```conf
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# pushbullet (pushbullet.com) push notification options
+
+SEND_PUSHBULLET="YES"
+PUSHBULLET_ACCESS_TOKEN="XXXXXXXXX"
DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_PUSHBULLET="admin1@example.com admin3@somemail.com #examplechanneltag #anotherchanneltag"
```
+## 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.
