+# Health monitoring
+
+Each netdata node runs an independent thread evaluating health monitoring checks.
+This thread has lock free access to the database, so that it can operate as a watchdog.
+
+Health checks (alarms) are attached to netdata charts, allowing netdata to automatically
+activate an alarm as soon as a chart is created. This is very important for
+netdata, since many charts are dynamically created during runtime (for example, the
+chart tracking network interface packet drops, is automatically created on the first
+packet dropped).
+
+Netdata also supports alarm **templates**, so that an alarm can be attached to all
+the charts of the same context (i.e. all network interfaces, or all disks, or all mysql servers, etc.)
+
+Each alarm can execute a single query to the database using statistical algorithms against past data,
+but alarms can be combined. So, if you need 2 queries in the database, you can combine
+2 alarms together (both will run a query to the database, and the results can be combined).
+
+Each alarm has unlimited access to all the metrics collected. So, a single alarm can
+use expressions combining the latest value of any number of metrics.
+
+## Health configuration reference
+
+Stock netdata health configuration is in `/usr/lib/netdata/conf.d/health.d`.
+These files can be overwritten by copying them and editing them in `/etc/netdata/health.d`
+(run `/etc/netdata/edit-config` to edit them).
+
+In `/etc/netdata/health.d` you can also put any number of files (in any number of sub-directories)
+with a suffix `.conf` to have them processed by netdata.
+
+Health configuration can be reloaded at any time, without restarting netdata.
+Just send netdata the SIGUSR2 signal, like this:
+
+```sh
+killall -USR2 netdata
+```
+
+### Entities in the health files
+
+There are 2 entities:
+
+1. **alarms**, which are attached to specific charts, and 
+
+2. **templates**, which define rules that should be applied to all charts having a
+   specific `context`. You can use this feature to apply **alarms** to all disks,
+   all network interfaces, all mysql databases, all nginx web servers, etc.
+
+Both of these entities have exactly the same format and feature set.
+The only difference is the label `alarm` or `template`.
+
+netdata supports overriding **templates** with **alarms**.
+For example, when a template is defined for a set of charts, an alarm with exactly the
+same name attached to the same chart the template matches, will have higher precedence
+(i.e. netdata will use the alarm on this chart and prevent the template from being applied
+to it).
+
+### The format
+
+The following lines are parsed.
+
+#### alarm line `alarm` or `template`
+
+This line starts an alarm or alarm template.
+
+```
+alarm: NAME
+```
+
+or 
+
+```
+template: NAME
+```
+
+This line has to be first on each alarm or template.
+`NAME` is anything you would like to name it (the only symbols allowed are `.` and `_`).
+
+---
+
+#### alarm line `on`
+
+This line defines the data the alarm should be attached to.
+
+For alarms:
+
+```
+on: CHART
+```
+
+For `CHART` you can use a chart `id` or `name` of the chart, as shown on the dashboard.
+
+For alarm templates:
+
+```
+on: CONTEXT
+```
+
+`CONTEXT` is the template of a chart. For example the charts `mysql_local.net` and
+`mysql_server2.net` have the same context: `mysql.net`. So, you can use this to apply
+alarms to all `mysql.net` charts.
+
+To find the `CONTEXT` of a chart hover over its date, above the legend. A tooltip will
+appear with this format `plugin:nodule, context`. For example, the bandwidth chart of
+a network interface says:
+
+```
+proc:/proc/dev/dev, net.net
+```
+
+So, `plugin = proc`, `module = /proc/net/dev` and `context = net.net`.
+
+---
+
+#### alarm line `os`
+
+This alarm or template will be used only if the O/S of the host loading it, matches this
+pattern list. The value is a space separated list of simple patterns (use `*` as wildcard,
+prefix with `!` for a negative match, order is important).
+
+```
+os: linux freebsd macos
+```
+
+---
+
+#### alarm line `hosts`
+
+This alarm or template will be used only if the hostname of the host loading it, matches
+this pattern list. The value is a space separated list of simple patterns (use `*` as wildcard,
+prefix with `!` for a negative match, order is important).
+
+```
+hosts: server1 server2 database* !redis3 redis*
+```
+
+The above says: use this alarm on all hosts named `server1`, `server2`, `database*`, and
+all `redis*` except `redis3`.
+
+This is useful when you centralize metrics from multiple hosts, to one netdata.
+
+---
+
+#### alarm line `families`
+
+This line is only used in alarm templates. It filters the charts. So, if you need to create
+an alarm template for a few of a kind of chart (a few of your disks, or a few of your network
+interfaces, or a few your mysql servers, etc), you can create an alarm template that would
+normally be applied to all of them, and filter them by family.
+
+The format is:
+
+```
+families: SIMPLE PATTERN LIST
+```
+
+Simple patterns list is a lists of space separated patterns. Use ` * ` as wildcard and ` ! `
+for a negative match. Processing is left to right, and on the first hit (positive or negative),
+processing stops.
+
+So. `families: *` means, match anything, while `families: !bad*pattern* *` means anything
+except `bad*pattern*` (where `*` is a wildcard to match any sequence of characters).
+
+The family of a chart is usually the submenu of the netdata dashboard it appears.
+
+---
+
+#### alarm line `lookup`
+
+This lines makes a database lookup to find a value. This result of this lookup is available as `$this`.
+
+The format is:
+  
+```
+lookup: METHOD AFTER [at BEFORE] [every DURATION] [OPTIONS] [of DIMENSIONS]
+```
+
+Everything is the same with [badges](../web/api/badges/). In short:
+
+- `METHOD` is one of `average`, `min`, `max`, `sum`, `incremental-sum`.
+   This is required.
+
+- `AFTER` is a relative number of seconds, but it also accepts a single letter for changing
+   the units, like `-1s` = 1 second in the past, `-1m` = 1 minute in the past, `-1h` = 1 hour
+   in the past, `-1d` = 1 day in the past. You need a negative number (i.e. how far in the past
+   to look for the value). **This is required**.
+
+- `at BEFORE` is by default 0 and is not required. Using this you can define the end of the
+   lookup. So data will be evaluated between `AFTER` and `BEFORE`.
+
+- `every DURATION` sets the updated frequency of the lookup (supports single letter units as
+   above too).
+
+- `OPTIONS` is a space separated list of `percentage`, `absolute`, `min2max`, `unaligned`,
+   `match-ids`, `match-names`. Check the badges documentation for more info.
+
+- `of DIMENSIONS` is optional and has to be the last parameter. Dimensions have to be separated
+   by `,` or `|`. The space characters found in dimensions will be kept as-is (a few dimensions
+   have spaces in their names). This accepts netdata simple patterns and the `match-ids` and
+   `match-names` options affect the searches for dimensions.
+
+The result of the lookup will be available as `$this` and `$NAME` in expressions.
+The timestamps of the timeframe evaluated by the database lookup is available as variables
+`$after` and `$before` (both are unix timestamps).
+
+---
+
+#### alarm line `calc`
+
+This expression is evaluated just after the `lookup` (if any). Its purpose is to apply some
+calculation before using the value looked up from the db.
+
+You can also have an expression without a lookup, using other variables that are available.
+
+The result of the calculation will be available as `$this` in warning and critical expressions
+(overwriting the `lookup` one).
+
+Format:
+
+```
+calc: EXPRESSION
+```
+
+Check [Expressions](#expressions) for more information.
+
+---
+
+#### alarm line `every`
+
+Sets the update frequency of this alarm.  This is the same to the `every DURATION` given
+in the `lookup` lines.
+
+Format:
+
+```
+every: DURATION
+```
+
+`DURATION` accepts `s` for seconds, `m` is minutes, `h` for hours, `d` for days.
+
+---
+
+#### alarm lines `green` and `red`
+
+Set the green and red thresholds of a chart. Both are available as `$green` and `$red` in
+expressions. If multiple alarms define different thresholds, the ones defined by the first
+alarm will be used. These will eventually visualized on the dashboard, so only one set of
+them is allowed. If you need multiple sets of them in different alarms, use absolute numbers
+instead of `$red` and `$green`.
+
+Format:
+
+```
+green: NUMBER
+red: NUMBER
+```
+
+---
+
+#### alarm lines `warn` and `crit`
+
+These expressions should evaluate to true or false (alternatively non-zero or zero).
+They trigger the alarm. Both are optional.
+
+Format:
+
+```
+warn: EXPRESSION
+crit: EXPRESSION
+```
+Check [Expressions](#expressions) for more information.
+
+---
+
+#### alarm line `to`
+
+This will be the first parameter of the script to be executed when the alarm switches status.
+Its meaning is left up to the `exec` script.
+
+The default `exec` script, `alarm-notify.sh`, uses this field as a space separated list of roles,
+which are then consulted to find the exact recipients per notification method.
+
+Format:
+
+```
+to: ROLE1 ROLE2 ROLE3 ...
+```
+
+---
+
+#### alarm line `exec`
+
+The script that will be executed when the alarm changes status.
+
+Format:
+
+```
+exec: SCRIPT
+```
+
+The default `SCRIPT` is netdata's `alarm-notify.sh`, which supports all the notifications
+methods netdata supports, including custom hooks.
+

+
+#### alarm line `delay`
+
+This is used to provide optional hysteresis settings for the notifications, to defend
+against notification floods. These settings do not affect the actual alarm - only the time
+the `exec` script is executed.
+
+Format:
+
+```
+delay: [[[up U] [down D] multiplier M] max X]
+```
+
+- `up U` defines the delay to be applied to a notification for an alarm that raised its status
+   (i.e. CLEAR to WARNING, CLEAR to CRITICAL, WARNING to CRITICAL). For example, `up 10s`, the
+   notification for this event will be sent 10 seconds after the actual event. This is used in
+   hope the alarm will get back to its previous state within the duration given. The default `U`
+   is zero.
+  
+- `down D` defines the delay to be applied to a notification for an alarm that moves to lower
+   state (i.e. CRITICAL to WARNING, CRITICAL to CLEAR, WARNING to CLEAR). For example, `down 1m`
+   will delay the notification by 1 minute. This is used to prevent notifications for flapping
+   alarms. The default `D` is zero.
+  
+- `mutliplier M` multiplies `U` and `D` when an alarm changes state, while a notification is
+   delayed. The default multiplier is `1.0`.
+  
+- `max X`  defines the maximum absolute notification delay an alarm may get. The default `X`
+   is `max(U * M, D * M)` (i.e. the max duration of `U` or `D` multiplied once with `M`).
+
+  Example:
+
+  `delay: up 10s down 15m multiplier 2 max 1h`
+
+  The time is `00:00:00` and the status of the alarm is CLEAR.
+
+  time of event|new status|delay|notification will be sent|why
+  -------------|----------|:---:|-------------------------|---
+  00:00:01 | WARNING | `up 10s` | 00:00:11 |first state switch
+  00:00:05 | CLEAR |  `down 15m x2`| 00:30:05 |the alarm changes state while a notification is delayed, so it was multiplied
+  00:00:06 | WARNING | `up 10s x2 x2` | 00:00:26 |multiplied twice
+  00:00:07|CLEAR|`down 15m x2 x2 x2`|00:45:07|multiplied 3 times.
+
+  So:
+  -  `U` and `D` are multiplied by `M` every time the alarm changes state (any state, not just
+     their matching one) and a delay is in place.
+  - All are reset to their defaults when the alarm switches state without a delay in place.
+

+
+### Expressions
+
+netdata has an internal [infix expression parser](../libnetdata/eval).
+This parses expressions and creates an internal structure that allows fast execution of them.
+
+These operators are supported `+`, `-`, `*`, `/`, `<`, `<=`, `<>`, `!=`, `>`, `>=`, `&&`, `||`,
+`!`, `AND`, `OR`, `NOT`. Boolean operators result in either `1` (true) or `0` (false).
+
+The conditional evaluation operator `?` is supported too. Using this operator IF-THEN-ELSE
+conditional statements can be specified. The format is: `(condition) ? (true expression) :
+(false expression)`. So, netdata will first evaluate the `condition` and based on the result
+will either evaluate `true expression` or `false expression`.
+Example: `($this > 0) ? ($avail * 2) : ($used / 2)`.
+Nested such expressions are also supported (i.e. `true expression` and `false expression` can
+contain conditional evaluations).
+
+Expressions also support the `abs()` function.
+
+Expressions can have variables. Variables start with `$`. Check below for more information.
+
+There are two special values you can use:
+
+  - `nan`, for example `$this != nan` will check if the variable `this` is available.
+     A variable can be `nan` if the database lookup failed. All calculations (i.e. addition,
+     multiplication, etc) with a `nan` result in a `nan`.
+
+  - `inf`, for example `$this != inf` will check if `this` is not infinite. A value or
+     variable can be infinite if divided by zero. All calculations (i.e. addition,
+     multiplication, etc) with a `inf` result in a `inf`.
+
+---
+
+### Special use of the conditional operator
+
+A common (but not necessarily obvious) use of the conditional evaluation operator is
+to provide [hysteresis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hysteresis) around the critical
+or warning thresholds.  This usage helps to avoid bogus messages resulting from small
+variations in the value when it is varying regularly but staying close to the threshold
+value, without needing to delay sending messages at all.
+
+An example of such usage from the default CPU usage alarms bundled with netdata is:
+
+```
+warn: $this > (($status >= $WARNING)  ? (75) : (85))
+crit: $this > (($status == $CRITICAL) ? (85) : (95))
+```
+
+The above say:
+* If the alarm is currently a warning, then the threshold for being considered a warning
+   is 75, otherwise it's 85.
+  
+* If the alarm is currently critical, then the threshold for being considered critical
+   is 85, otherwise it's 95.
+
+Which in turn, results in the following behavior:
+* While the value is rising, it will trigger a warning when it exceeds 85, and a critical
+   alert when it exceeds 95.
+  
+* While the value is falling, it will return to a warning state when it goes below 85,
+   and a normal state when it goes below 75.
+   
+* If the value is constantly varying between 80 and 90, then it will trigger a warning the
+   first time it goes above 85, but will remain a warning until it goes below 75 (or goes above 85).
+   
+* If the value is constantly varying between 90 and 100, then it will trigger a critical alert
+   the first time it goes above 95, but will remain a critical alert goes below 85 (at which
+   point it will return to being a warning).
+
+---
+
+### Variables
+
+netdata supports 3 new internal indexes for variables that will be used in health monitoring:
+
+  - **chart local variables**. All the dimensions of the chart are exposed as local variables.
+     All chart alarms names are exposed as variables too.
+
+     Charts also define a few special variables:
+
+     - `$last_collected_t` is the unix timestamp of the last data collection
+     - `$collected_total_raw` is the sum of all the dimensions (their last collected values)
+     - `$update_every` is the update frequency of the chart
+     - `$green` and `$red` the threshold defined in alarms (these are per chart - the charts
+        inherits them from the the first alarm that defined them)
+
+     Chart dimensions define their last calculated (i.e. interpolated) value, exactly as
+     shown on the charts, but also a variable with their name and suffix `_raw` that resolves
+     to the last collected value - as collected and another with suffix `_last_collected_t`
+     that resolves to unix timestamp the dimension was last collected (there may be dimensions
+     that fail to be collected while others continue normally).
+
+  - **family variables**. Families are used to group charts together. For example all `eth0`
+     charts, have `family = eth0`. This index includes all local variables, but if there are
+     overlapping variables, only the first are exposed.
+
+  - **host variables**. All the dimensions of all charts, including all alarms, in fullname.
+     Fullname is `CHART.VARIABLE`, where `CHART` is either the chart id or the chart name (both
+     are supported).
+
+  - **special variables*** are:
+
+     - `this`, which is resolved to the value of the current alarm.
+     
+     - `status`, which is resolved to the current status of the alarm (the current = the last
+        status, i.e. before the current database lookup and the evaluation of the `calc` line).
+        This values can be compared with `$REMOVED`, `$UNINITIALIZED`, `$UNDEFINED`, `$CLEAR`,
+        `$WARNING`, `$CRITICAL`. These values are incremental, ie. `$status > $CLEAL` works as
+        expected.
+        
+     - `now`, which is resolved to current unix timestamp.
+
+You can find all the variables that can be used for a given chart, using
+`http://your.netdata.ip:19999/api/v1/alarm_variables?chart=NAME`.
+This will dump all the indexes from the chart's perspective.
+Example: [variables for the `system.cpu` chart of the registry](https://registry.my-netdata.io/api/v1/alarm_variables?chart=system.cpu).
+
+## Alarm Statuses
+
+Alarms can have the following statuses:
+
+  - `REMOVED` - the alarm has been deleted (this happens when a SIGUSR2 is sent to netdata
+     to reload health configuration)
+     
+  - `UNINITIALIZED` - the alarm is not initialized yet
+  
+  - `UNDEFINED` - the alarm failed to be calculated (i.e. the database lookup failed,
+     a division by zero occurred, etc)
+     
+  - `CLEAR` - the alarm is not armed / raised (i.e. is OK)
+  
+  - `WARNING` - the warning expression resulted in true or non-zero
+  
+  - `CRITICAL` - the critical expression resulted in true or non-zero
+
+The external script will be called for all status changes.
+
+## Examples
+
+
+Check the **[health.d directory](health.d)** for all alarms shipped with netdata.
+
+Here are a few examples:
+
+### Example 1
+
+A simple check if an apache server is alive:
+
+```
+template: apache_last_collected_secs
+      on: apache.requests
+    calc: $now - $last_collected_t
+   every: 10s
+    warn: $this > ( 5 * $update_every)
+    crit: $this > (10 * $update_every)
+```
+
+The above checks that netdata is able to collect data from apache. In detail:
+
+```
+template: apache_last_collected_secs
+```
+
+The above defines a **template** named `apache_last_collected_secs`.
+The name is important since `$apache_last_collected_secs` resolves to the `calc` line.
+So, try to give something descriptive.
+
+```
+      on: apache.requests
+```
+
+The above applies the **template** to all charts that have `context = apache.requests`
+(i.e. all your apache servers).
+
+```
+    calc: $now - $last_collected_t
+```
+
+- `$now` is a standard variable that resolves to the current timestamp.
+
+- `$last_collected_t` is the last data collection timestamp of the chart.
+   So this calculation gives the number of seconds passed since the last data collection.
+
+```
+   every: 10s
+```
+
+The alarm will be evaluated every 10 seconds.
+
+```
+    warn: $this > ( 5 * $update_every)
+    crit: $this > (10 * $update_every)
+```
+
+If these result in non-zero or true, they trigger the alarm.
+
+- `$this` refers to the value of this alarm (i.e. the result of the `calc` line.
+   We could also use `$apache_last_collected_secs`.
+
+`$update_every` is the update frequency of the chart, in seconds.
+
+So, the warning condition checks if we have not collected data from apache for 5
+iterations and the critical condition checks for 10 iterations.
+
+### Example 2
+
+Check if any of the disks is critically low on disk space:
+
+```
+template: disk_full_percent
+      on: disk.space
+    calc: $used * 100 / ($avail + $used)
+   every: 1m
+    warn: $this > 80
+    crit: $this > 95
+```
+
+`$used` and `$avail`  are the `used` and `avail` chart dimensions as shown on the dashboard.
+
+So, the `calc` line finds the percentage of used space. `$this` resolves to this percentage.
+
+### Example 3
+
+Predict if any disk will run out of space in the near future.
+
+We do this in 2 steps:
+
+Calculate the disk fill rate:
+
+```
+    template: disk_fill_rate
+          on: disk.space
+      lookup: max -1s at -30m unaligned of avail
+        calc: ($this - $avail) / (30 * 60)
+       every: 15s
+```
+
+In the `calc` line: `$this` is the result of the `lookup` line (i.e. the free space 30 minutes
+ago) and `$avail` is the current disk free space. So the `calc` line will either have a positive
+number of GB/second if the disk if filling up, or a negative number of GB/second if the disk is
+freeing up space.
+
+There is no `warn` or `crit` lines here. So, this template will just do the calculation and
+nothing more.
+
+Predict the hours after which the disk will run out of space:
+
+```
+    template: disk_full_after_hours
+          on: disk.space
+        calc: $avail / $disk_fill_rate / 3600
+       every: 10s
+        warn: $this > 0 and $this < 48
+        crit: $this > 0 and $this < 24
+```
+
+The `calc` line estimates the time in hours, we will run out of disk space. Of course, only
+positive values are interesting for this check, so the warning and critical conditions check
+for positive values and that we have enough free space for 48 and 24 hours respectively.
+
+Once this alarm triggers we will receive an email like this:
+
+![image](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/2662304/17839993/87872b32-6802-11e6-8e08-b2e4afef93bb.png)
+
+### Example 4
+
+Check if any network interface is dropping packets:
+
+```
+template: 30min_packet_drops
+      on: net.drops
+  lookup: sum -30m unaligned absolute
+   every: 10s
+    crit: $this > 0
+```
+
+The `lookup` line will calculate the sum of the all dropped packets in the last 30 minutes.
+
+The `crit` line will issue a critical alarm if even a single packet has been dropped.
+
+Note that the drops chart does not exist if a network interface has never dropped a single packet.
+When netdata detects a dropped packet, it will add the chart and it will automatically attach this
+alarm to it.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+You can compile netdata with [debugging](../daemon#debugging) and then set in `netdata.conf`:
+
+```
+[global]
+   debug flags = 0x0000000000800000
+```
+
+Then check your `/var/log/netdata/debug.log`. It will show you how it works.
+Important: this will generate a lot of output in debug.log.
+
+You can find the context of charts by looking up the chart in either
+`http://your.netdata:19999/netdata.conf` or `http://your.netdata:19999/api/v1/charts`.
+
+You can find how netdata interpreted the expressions by examining the alarm at
+`http://your.netdata:19999/api/v1/alarms?all`. For each expression, netdata will return the
+expression as given in its config file, and the same expression with additional parentheses
+added to indicate the evaluation flow of the expression.

+# It overflows when too many incoming TCP connection requests hang in the
+# half-open state and the server is not configured to fall back to SYN cookies.
+# Overflows are usually caused by SYN flood DoS attacks (i.e. someone sends
+# lots of SYN packets and never completes the handshakes).
+#
+# Accept queue
+# The accept queue holds fully established TCP connections waiting to be handled
+# by the listening application. It overflows when the server application fails
+# to accept new connections at the rate they are coming in.

+# Netdata alarm notifications
+
+The `exec` line in health configuration defines an external script that will be called once
+the alarm is triggered. The default script is **[alarm-notify.sh](alarm-notify.sh.in)**.
+
+You can change the default script globally by editing `/etc/netdata/netdata.conf`.
+
+`alarm-notify.sh` is capable of sending notifications:
+
+- to multiple recipients
+- using multiple notification methods
+- filtering severity per recipient
+
+It uses **roles**. For example `sysadmin`, `webmaster`, `dba`, etc.
+
+Each alarm is assigned to one or more roles, using the `to` line of the alarm configuration.
+Then `alarm-notify.sh` uses its own configuration file `/etc/netdata/health_alarm_notify.conf`
+the default is [here](health_alarm_notify.conf)
+(to edit it on your system run `/etc/netdata/edit-config health_alarm_notify.conf`)
+to find the destination address of the notification for each method.
+
+Each role may have one or more destinations.
+
+So, for example the `sysadmin` role may send:
+
+1. emails to admin1@example.com and admin2@example.com
+2. pushover.net notifications to USERTOKENS `A`, `B` and `C`.
+3. pushbullet.com push notifications to admin1@example.com and admin2@example.com
+4. messages to slack.com channel `#alarms` and `#systems`.
+5. messages to Discord channels `#alarms` and `#systems`.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Edit [`/etc/netdata/health_alarm_notify.conf`](health_alarm_notify.conf)
+by running `/etc/netdata/edit-config health_alarm_notify.conf`:
+
+- settings per notification method:
+
+   all notification methods except email, require some configuration
+   (i.e. API keys, tokens, destination rooms, channels, etc).
+
+2. **recipients** per **role** per **notification method**
+
+## Testing Notifications
+
+You can run the following command by hand, to test alarms configuration:
+
+```sh
+# become user netdata
+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"
+```

+# alerta.io notifications
+
+The alerta monitoring system is a tool used to consolidate and de-duplicate alerts from multiple sources for quick ‘at-a-glance’ visualisation. With just one system you can monitor alerts from many other monitoring tools on a single screen.
+
+![](http://docs.alerta.io/en/latest/_images/alerta-screen-shot-3.png)
+
+When receiving alerts from multiple sources you can quickly become overwhelmed. With Alerta any alert with the same environment and resource is considered a duplicate if it has the same severity. If it has a different severity it is correlated so that you only see the most recent one. Awesome.

+We can send Netadata alarms to Alerta so yo can see in one place alerts coming from many Netdata hosts or also from a multihost Netadata configuration.\
+The big advantage over other notifications method is that you have in a main view all active alarms with only las state, but you can also search history.
+
+## Setting up an Alerta server with Ubuntu 16.04
+
+Here we will set a basic Alerta server to test it with Netdata alerts.\
+More advanced configurations are out os scope of this tutorial.
+
+source: http://alerta.readthedocs.io/en/latest/gettingstarted/tutorial-1-deploy-alerta.html
+
+I recommend to set up the server in a separated server, VM or container.\
+If you have other Nginx or Apache server in your organization, I recommend to proxy to this new server.

+Set us as root for easiest working

+
+## Test alarms
+
+We can test alarms with standard
+```
+sudo su -s /bin/bash netdata
+/opt/netdata/netdata-plugins/plugins.d/alarm-notify.sh test
+exit
+```
+But the problem is that Netdata will send 3 alarms, and because last alarm is "CLEAR" you will not se them in main Alerta page, you need to select to see "closed" alarma in top-right lookup.
+
+A little change in alarm-notify.sh that let us test each state one by one will be useful.

+# Amazon SNS notifications
+
+As part of it's AWS suite, Amazon provides a notification broker service called 'Simple Notification Service' or SNS.  Amazon SNS works kind of similarly to Netdata's own notification system, allowing dispatch of a single notification to multiple subscribers of different types.  Among other things, SNS supports sending notifications to:
+
+* Email addresses.
+* Mobile Phones via SMS.
+* HTTP or HTTPS web hooks.
+* AWS Lambda functions.
+* AWS SQS queues.
+* Mobile applications via push notifications.
+
+To get this working, you will need:
+
+* The Amazon Web Services CLI tools.  Most distributions provide these with the package name `awscli`.
+* An actual home directory for the user you run Netdata as, instead of just using `/` as a home directory.  Setup of this is distribution specific.  `/var/lib/netdata` is the recommended directory (because the permissions will already be correct) if you are using a dedicated user (which is how most distributions work).
+* An Amazon SNS topic to send notifications to with one or more subscribers.  The [Getting Started](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sns/latest/dg/GettingStarted.html) section of the Amazon SNS documentation covers the basics of how to set this up.  Make note of the Topic ARN when you create the topic.
+* While not mandatory, it is highly recommended to create a dedicated IAM user on your account for netdata to send notifications.  This user needs to have programmatic access, and should only allow access to SNS.  If you're really paranoid, you can create one for each system or group of systems.
+
+Once you have all the above, run the follwing command as the user netdata runs under:
+
+    aws configure
+
+THis will prompt you for the access key and secret key for accessing Amazon SNS (as well as the default region and output format, but you can leave those blank because we don't use them).
+
+Once that's done, you're ready to go and can specify the desired topic ARN as a recipient.
+
+Notes:
+
+   * Netdata's native email notification support is far better in almost all respects than it's support through Amazon SNS.  If you want email notifications, use the native support, not SNS.
+    * If you need to change the notification format for SNS notifications, you can do so by specifying the format in `AWSSNS_MESSAGE_FORMAT` in the configuration.  This variable supports all the same vairiables you can use in custom notifications.
+    * While Amazon SNS supports sending differently formatted messages for different delivery methods, netdata does not currently support this functionality.

+You need:
+
+1. The **incoming webhook URL** as given by Discord. Create a webhook by following the official [Discord documentation](https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/228383668-Intro-to-Webhooks). You can use the same on all your netdata servers (or you can have multiple if you like - your decision).
+2. One or more Discord channels to post the messages to.
+
+Set them in `/etc/netdata/health_alarm_notify.conf` (to edit it on your system run `/etc/netdata/edit-config health_alarm_notify.conf`), like this:
+
+```

+
+You can define multiple channels like this: `alarms systems`.
+You can give different channels per **role** using these (at the same file):
+
+```
+role_recipients_discord[sysadmin]="systems"
+role_recipients_discord[dba]="databases systems"
+role_recipients_discord[webmaster]="marketing development"
+```
+
+The keywords `systems`, `databases`, `marketing`, `development` are discordapp.com channels (they should already exist within your discord server).

+# email notifications
+
+You need a working `sendmail` command for email alerts to work. Almost all MTAs provide a `sendmail` interface.

+
+## configuration
+
+To edit `health_alarm_notify.conf` on your system run `/etc/netdata/edit-config health_alarm_notify.conf`.
+
+You can configure recipients in [`/etc/netdata/health_alarm_notify.conf`](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/99d44b7d0c4e006b11318a28ba4a7e7d3f9b3bae/conf.d/health_alarm_notify.conf#L101).
+
+You can also configure per role recipients [in the same file, a few lines below](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/99d44b7d0c4e006b11318a28ba4a7e7d3f9b3bae/conf.d/health_alarm_notify.conf#L313).
+
+Changes to this file do not require netdata restart.
+
+You can test your configuration by issuing the commands:
+
+```sh
+# become user netdata
+sudo su -s /bin/bash netdata
+
+# send a test alarm
+/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/alarm-notify.sh test [ROLE]
+```
+
+Where `[ROLE]` is the role you want to test. The default (if you don't give a `[ROLE]`) is `sysadmin`.

+# emerg, alert, crit, err, warning, notice, info, debug
+#
+# By default, warnings will be logged at the warning level, critical
+# alerts at the crit level, and clear notifications at the invo level.
+#
+# And the 19 facilities you can log to are:
+# auth, authpriv, cron, daemon, ftp, lpr, mail, news, syslog, user,
+# uucp, local0, local1, local2, local3, local4, local5, local6, and local7
+#
+# By default, netdata alerts will be logged to the local6 facility.
+#
+# Depending on your distribution, this means that either all your
+# netdata alerts will by default end up in the main system log (usually
+# /var/log/messages), or they won't be logged to a file at all.
+# Neither of these are likely to be what you actually want, but any
+# configuration to change that needs to happen in the syslog daemon
+# configuration, not here.
+
+# This controls which facility is used by defalt for logging.  Defaults
+# to local6.
+SYSLOG_FACILITY=''
+
+# If a role's recipients are not configured, use the following.
+# (empty = do not send a notification for unconfigured roles)
+#
+# The recipient format for syslog uses the following format:
+# [[facility.level][@host[:port]]/]prefix
+#
+# `prefix` gets appended to the front of all log messages generated for
+# that recipient.  The prefix is mandatory.
+# 'host' and 'port' can be used to specify a remote syslog server to
+# send messages to.  Leave these out if you want messages to be delivered
+# locally.  'host' can be either a hostname or an IP address.
+# IPv6 addresses must have square around them.
+# 'facility' and 'level' are used to override the default logging facility
+# set above and the log level.  If one is specified, both must be present.
+#
+# For example, to send messages with a 'netdata' prefix to a syslog
+# daemon listening on port 514 on 'loghost' using the daemon facility and
+# notice log level:
+# DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_SYSLOG='daemon.notice@loghost:514/netdata'

+
+
+You need:
+1. The `nc` utility. If you do not set the path, netdata will search for it in your system `$PATH`.
+
+Set the path for `nc` in `/etc/netdata/health_alarm_notify.conf` (to edit it on your system run `/etc/netdata/edit-config health_alarm_notify.conf`), like this:
+
+```
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# external commands
+#
+# The full path of the nc command.
+# If empty, the system $PATH will be searched for it.
+# If not found, irc notifications will be silently disabled.
+nc="/usr/bin/nc"
+
+```
+
+2. Αn `IRC_NETWORK` to which your preffered channels belong to.   
+3. One or more channels ( `DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_IRC` ) to post the messages to.   
+4. An `IRC_NICKNAME` and an `IRC_REALNAME` to identify in IRC.   
+
+Set them in `/etc/netdata/health_alarm_notify.conf` (to edit it on your system run `/etc/netdata/edit-config health_alarm_notify.conf`), like this:
+
+```
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# irc notification options
+#
+# irc notifications require only the nc utility to be installed. 
+
+# multiple recipients can be given like this:
+#              "<irc_channel_1> <irc_channel_2> ..."
+
+# enable/disable sending irc notifications
+SEND_IRC="YES"
+
+# if a role's recipients are not configured, a notification will not be sent.
+# (empty = do not send a notification for unconfigured roles):
+DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_IRC="#system-alarms"
+
+# The irc network to which the recipients belong. It must be the full network.
+IRC_NETWORK="irc.freenode.net"
+
+# The irc nickname which is required to send the notification. It must not be 
+# an already registered name as the connection's MODE is defined as a 'guest'.
+IRC_NICKNAME="netdata-alarm-user"
+
+# The irc realname which is required in order to make the connection and is an
+# extra identifier.
+IRC_REALNAME="netdata-user"
+
+```
+
+You can define multiple channels like this: `#system-alarms #networking-alarms`.  
+You can also filter the notifications like this: `#system-alarms|critical`.  
+You can give different channels per **role** using these (at the same file):  
+
+```
+role_recipients_irc[sysadmin]="#user-alarms #networking-alarms #system-alarms"
+role_recipients_irc[dba]="#databases-alarms"
+role_recipients_irc[webmaster]="#networking-alarms"
+```
+
+The keywords `#user-alarms`, `#networking-alarms`, `#system-alarms`, `#databases-alarms` are irc channels which belong to the specified IRC network.

+[PagerDuty](https://www.pagerduty.com/company/) is the enterprise incident resolution service that integrates with ITOps and DevOps monitoring stacks to improve operational reliability and agility. From enriching and aggregating events to correlating them into incidents, PagerDuty streamlines the incident management process by reducing alert noise and resolution times.
+
+Here is an example of a PagerDuty dashboard with netdata notifications:
+
+![PagerDuty dashboard with netdata notifications](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/19278582/21233877/b466a08a-c2a5-11e6-8d66-ee6eed43818f.png)
+
+To have netdata send notifications to PagerDuty, you'll first need to set up a PagerDuty `Generic API` service and install the PagerDuty agent on the host running netdata.  See the following guide for details:
+
+https://www.pagerduty.com/docs/guides/agent-install-guide/
+
+During the setup of the `Generic API` PagerDuty service, you'll obtain a `pagerduty service key`.  Keep this **service key** handy.
+
+Once the PagerDuty agent is installed on your host and can send notifications from your host to your `Generic API` service on PagerDuty, add the **service key** to `DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_PD` in `health_alarm_notify.conf`:
+
+```
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

+# PushOver notifications
+
+pushover.net allows you to receive push notifications on your mobile phone. The service seems free for up to 7.500 messages per month.
+
+netdata will send warning messages with priority `0` and critical messages with priority `1`. pushover.net allows you to select do-not-disturb hours. The way this is configured, critical notifications will ring and vibrate your phone, even during the do-not-disturb-hours. All other notifications will be delivered silently.
+
+You need:
+
+1. APP TOKEN. You can use the same on all your netdata servers.
+2. USER TOKEN for each user you are going to send notifications to. This is the actual recipient of the notification.
+
+The configuration is like above (slack messages).
+
+pushover.net notifications look like this:

+# Rocket.Chat notifications
+
+This is what you will get:
+![Netdata on RocketChat](https://i.imgur.com/Zu4t3j3.png)
+You need:
+
+1. The **incoming webhook URL** as given by RocketChat. You can use the same on all your netdata servers (or you can have multiple if you like - your decision).
+2. One or more channels to post the messages to.
+
+Get them here: https://rocket.chat/docs/administrator-guides/integrations/index.html#how-to-create-a-new-incoming-webhook
+
+Set them in `/etc/netdata/health_alarm_notify.conf` (to edit it on your system run `/etc/netdata/edit-config health_alarm_notify.conf`), like this:
+
+```
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# rocketchat (rocket.chat) global notification options
+
+# multiple recipients can be given like this:
+#                  "CHANNEL1 CHANNEL2 ..."
+
+# enable/disable sending rocketchat notifications
+SEND_ROCKETCHAT="YES"
+
+# Login to rocket.chat and create an incoming webhook. You need only one for all
+# your netdata servers (or you can have one for each of your netdata).
+# Without it, netdata cannot send rocketchat notifications.
+ROCKETCHAT_WEBHOOK_URL="<your_incoming_webhook_url>"
+
+# if a role's recipients are not configured, a notification will be send to
+# this rocketchat channel (empty = do not send a notification for unconfigured
+# roles).
+DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_ROCKETCHAT="monitoring_alarms"
+
+```
+
+You can define multiple channels like this: `alarms systems`.
+You can give different channels per **role** using these (at the same file):
+
+```
+role_recipients_rocketchat[sysadmin]="systems"
+role_recipients_rocketchat[dba]="databases systems"
+role_recipients_rocketchat[webmaster]="marketing development"
+```
+
+The keywords `systems`, `databases`, `marketing`, `development` are RocketChat channels (they should already exist).
+Both public and private channels can be used, even if they differ from the channel configured in yout RocketChat incomming webhook.

+# syslog notifications
+
+You need a working `logger` command for this to work.  This is the case on pretty much every Linux system in existence, and most BSD systems.
+
+Logged messages will look like this:
+
+    netdata WARNING on hostname at Tue Apr 3 09:00:00 EDT 2018: disk_space._ out of disk space time = 5h
+
+## configuration
+
+System log targets are configured as recipients in [`/etc/netdata/health_alarm_notify.conf`](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/36bedc044584dea791fd29455bdcd287c3306cb2/conf.d/health_alarm_notify.conf#L534) (to edit it on your system run `/etc/netdata/edit-config health_alarm_notify.conf`).
+
+You can als configure per-role targets in the same file a bit further down.
+
+Targets are defined as follows:
+
+    [[facility.level][@host[:port]]/]prefix
+
+`prefix` defines what the log messages are prefixed with.  By default, all lines are prefixed with 'netdata'.
+
+The `facility` and `level` are the standard syslog facility and level options, for more info on them see your local `logger` and `syslog` documentation.  By default, netdata will log to the `local6` facility, with a log level dependent on the type of message (`crit` for CRITICAL, `warning` for WARNING, and `info` for everything else).
+
+You can configure sending directly to remote log servers by specifying a host (and optionally a port).  However, this has a somewhat high overhead, so it is much preferred to use your local syslog daemon to handle the forwarding of messages to remote systems (pretty much all of them allow at least simple forwarding, and most of the really popular ones support complex queueing and routing of messages to remote log servers).

+# Telegram.org notifications
+
+[Telegram](https://telegram.org/) is a messaging app with a focus on speed and security, it’s super-fast, simple and free. You can use Telegram on all your devices at the same time — your messages sync seamlessly across any number of your phones, tablets or computers.
+
+With Telegram, you can send messages, photos, videos and files of any type (doc, zip, mp3, etc), as well as create groups for up to 30,000 people or channels for broadcasting to unlimited audiences. You can write to your phone contacts and find people by their usernames. As a result, Telegram is like SMS and email combined — and can take care of all your personal or business messaging needs.
+
+netdata will send warning messages without vibration.
+
+You need:
+
+1. A bot token. To get one, contact the [@BotFather](https://t.me/BotFather) bot and send the command `/newbot`. Follow the instructions.
+2. A chat id for every chat you want to send messages to. Contact the [@myidbot](https://t.me/myidbot) bot and send the command `/getid` to get your personal chat id or invite him into a group and issue the same command to get the group chat id.
+3. Start a conversation with your bot or invite him into a group you want to sent messages to.
+
+See slack for configuration.
+
+Telegram messages look like this:
