-(Prowl)[1] is a push notification service for iOS devices.  Netdata
-supprots delivering notifications to iOS devices through Prowl.
-
-Because of how Netdata integrates with Prowl, there is a hard limit of
-at most 1000 notifications per hour (starting from the first notification
-sent).  Any alerts beyond the first thousand in an hour will be dropped.
-
-Warning messages will be sent with the 'High' priority, critical messages
-will be sent with the 'Emergency' priority, and all other messages will
-be sent with the normal priority.  Opening the notification's associated
-URL will take you to the Netdata dashboard of the system that issued
-the alert, directly to the chart that it triggered on.
-
-## configuration
-
-To use this, you will need a Prowl API key, which can be rquested through
-the Prowl website after registering.
-
-Once you have an API key, simply specify that as a recipient for Prowl
-notifications.
