This is done by sending an HTTP POST request to a specified URL (known as the "webhook URL") when an event occurs. + +Netdata webhook integration service will send alert notifications to the destination service as soon as they are detected. + +The notification content sent to the destination service will be a JSON object having these properties: + +| field | type | description | +| :-- | :-- | :-- | +| message | string | A summary message of the alert. | +| alarm | string | The alarm the notification is about. | +| info | string | Additional info related with the alert. | +| chart | string | The chart associated with the alert. | +| context | string | The chart context. | +| space | string | The space where the node that raised the alert is assigned. | +| family | string | Context family. | +| class | string | Classification of the alert, e.g. "Error". | +| severity | string | Alert severity, can be one of "warning", "critical" or "clear". | +| date | string | Date of the alert in ISO8601 format. | +| duration | string | Duration the alert has been raised. | +| critical_count | integer | umber of critical alerts currently existing on the same node. | +| warning_count | integer | Number of warning alerts currently existing on the same node. | +| alarm_url | string | Netdata Cloud URL for this alarm. | + +##### Extra headers + +When setting up a webhook integration, the user can specify a set of headers to be included in the HTTP requests sent to the webhook URL. + +By default, the following headers will be sent in the HTTP request + +| **Header** | **Value** | +|:-------------------------------:|-----------------------------| +| Content-Type | application/json | + +##### Authorization mechanism + +Netdata webhook integration supports 3 different authorization mechanisms: + +1. Mutual TLS (recommended) + +In mutual Transport Layer Security (mTLS) authorization, the client and the server authenticate each other using X.509 certificates. This ensures that the client is connecting to the intended server, and that the server is only accepting connections from authorized clients. + +To take advantage of mutual TLS, you can configure your server to verify Netdata's client certificate. To do that you need to download our [CA certificate file](http://localhost) and configure your server to use it as the + +This is the default authentication mechanism used if no other method is selected. + +2. Basic + +In basic authorization, the client sends a request with an Authorization header that includes a base64-encoded string in the format username:password. The server then uses this information to authenticate the client. If this authentication method is selected, the user can set the user and password that will be used when connecting to the destination service. + +3. Bearer + +In bearer token authorization, the client sends a request with an Authorization header that includes a bearer token. The server then uses this token to authenticate the client. Bearer tokens are typically generated by an authentication service, and are passed to the client after a successful authentication. If this method is selected, the user can set the token to be used for connecting to the destination service. + +#### Related topics + +- [Alerts Configuration](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/README.md) +- [Alert Notifications](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/alerts-notifications/notifications.mdx) +- [Manage notification methods](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/alerts-notifications/manage-notification-methods.md) diff --git a/docs/cloud/alerts-notifications/manage-notification-methods.md b/docs/cloud/alerts-notifications/manage-notification-methods.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..115aaae73 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/cloud/alerts-notifications/manage-notification-methods.md @@ -0,0 +1,88 @@ +<!-- +title: "Manage notification methods" +sidebar_label: "Manage notification methods" +custom_edit_url: "https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/alerts-notifications/manage-notification-methods.md" +learn_status: "Published" +learn_topic_type: "Tasks" +learn_rel_path: "Operations/Alerts" +learn_docs_purpose: "Instructions on how to manage notification methods" +--> + +From the Cloud interface, you can manage your space's notification settings as well as allow users to personalize their notifications setting + +### Manage space notification settings + +#### Prerequisites + +To manage space notification settings, you will need the following: + +- A Netdata Cloud account +- Access to the space as an **administrator** + +#### Available actions per notification methods based on service level + +| **Action** | **Personal service level** | **System service level** | +| :- | :-: | :-: | +| Enable / Disable | X | X | +| Edit | | X | | +| Delete | X | X | +| Add multiple configurations for same method | | X | + +Notes: +* For Netadata provided ones you can't delete the existing notification method configuration. +* Enable, Edit and Add actions over specific notification methods will only be allowed if your plan has access to those ([service classification](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/alerts-notifications/notifications.mdx#service-classification)) + +#### Steps + +1.
