+# Add Mattermost notification configuration
+
+From the Cloud interface, you can manage your space's notification settings and from these you can add a specific configuration to get notifications delivered on Mattermost.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+To add Mattermost notification configurations you need:
+
+- A Netdata Cloud account
+- Access to the space as an **administrator**
+- Space needs to be on **Business** plan or higher
+- Have a Mattermost app on your workspace to receive the webhooks, for more details check [how to configure this on Mattermost](#settings-on-mattermost)
+
+## Steps
+
+1. Click on the **Space settings** cog (located above your profile icon)
+1. Click on the **Notification** tab
+1. Click on the **+ Add configuration** button (near the top-right corner of your screen)
+1. On the **Mattermost** card click on **+ Add**
+1. A modal will be presented to you to enter the required details to enable the configuration:
+ 1. **Notification settings** are Netdata specific settings
+ - Configuration name - you can optionally provide a name for your configuration you can easily refer to it
+ - Rooms - by specifying a list of Rooms you are select to which nodes or areas of your infrastructure you want to be notified using this configuration
+ - Notification - you specify which notifications you want to be notified using this configuration: All Alerts and unreachable, All Alerts, Critical only
+ 1. **Integration configuration** are the specific notification integration required settings, which vary by notification method. For Mattermost:
+ - Webhook URL - URL provided on Mattermost for the channel you want to receive your notifications. For more details check [how to configure this on Mattermost](#settings-on-mattermost)
+
+## Settings on Mattermost
+
+To enable the webhook integrations on Mattermost you need:
+1. In Mattermost, go to Product menu > Integrations > Incoming Webhook.
+
+![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/26550862/243394526-6d45f6c2-c3cc-4d5f-a9cb-85d8170fc8ac.png)
+
+ - If you don’t have the Integrations option, incoming webhooks may not be enabled on your Mattermost server or may be disabled for non-admins. They can be enabled by a System Admin from System Console > Integrations > Integration Management. Once incoming webhooks are enabled, continue with the steps below
+
+![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/26550862/243394734-f911ccf7-bb18-41b2-ab52-31195861dd1b.png)
+
+2. Select Add Incoming Webhook and add a name and description for the webhook. The description can be up to 500 characters
+
+3. Select the channel to receive webhook payloads, then select Add to create the webhook
+

+
+4. You will end up with a webhook endpoint that looks like so:
+```
+https://your-mattermost-server.com/hooks/xxx-generatedkey-xxx
+```
+ - Treat this endpoint as a secret. Anyone who has it will be able to post messages to your Mattermost instance.
+
+For more details please check Mattermost's article [Incoming webhooks for Mattermost](https://developers.mattermost.com/integrate/webhooks/incoming/).

+| Node child1 | All Rooms | `child1` | * | * | * | * | This rule silences all alert state transitions for node `child1` on all rooms and for all users. E.g. node could be going under maintenance. |
+| Production nodes | All Rooms | * | `environment:production` | * | * | * | This rule silences all alert state transitions for nodes with the host label key-value pair `environment:production`. E.g. Maintenance window on nodes with specific host labels. |
+| Third party maintenance | All Rooms | * | * | `httpcheck_posthog_netdata_cloud.request_status` | * | * | This rule silences this specific alert since third party partner will be undergoing maintenance. |
+| Intended stress usage on CPU | All Rooms | * | * | * | `system.cpu` | * | This rule silences specific alerts across all nodes and their CPU cores. |
+| Silence role webmaster | All Rooms | * | * | * | * | `webmaster` | This rule silences all alerts configured with the role `webmaster`. |
+| Silence alert on node | All Rooms | `child1` | * | `httpcheck_posthog_netdata_cloud.request_status` | * | * | This rule silences the specific alert on the `child1` node. |

+## Silencing Alert notifications
+
+Netdata Cloud provides you a Silencing Rule engine which allows you to mute alert notifications. This muting action is specific to alert state transition notifications, it doesn't include node unreachable state transitions.
+
+The Silencing Rule engine is flexible and allows you to enter silence rules for the two main entities involved on alert notifications and can be set using different attributes. The main entities you can enter are **Nodes** and **Alerts** which can be used in combination or isolation to target specific needs - see some examples [here](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/alerts-notifications/manage-alert-notification-silencing-rules.md#silencing-rules-examples).
+
+### Scope definition for Nodes
+* **Space:** silencing the space, selecting `All Rooms`, silences all alert state transitions from any node claimed to the space.
+* **War Room:** silencing a specific room will silence all alert state transitions from any node in that room. Please note if the node belongs to
+another room which isn't silenced it can trigger alert notifications to the users with membership to that other room.
+* **Node:** silencing a specific node can be done for the entire space, selecting `All Rooms`, or for specific war room(s). The main difference is
+if the node should be silenced for the entire space or just for specific rooms (when specific rooms are selected only users with membership to that room won't receive notifications).
+
+### Scope definition for Alerts
+* **Alert name:** silencing a specific alert name silences all alert state transitions for that specific alert.
+* **Alert context:** silencing a specific alert context will silence all alert state transitions for alerts targeting that chart context, for more details check [alert configuration docs](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/REFERENCE.md#alarm-line-on).
+* **Alert role:** silencing a specific alert role will silence all the alert state transitions for alerts that are configured to be specific role recipients, for more details check [alert configuration docs](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/REFERENCE.md#alarm-line-to).
+
+Beside the above two main entities there are another two important settings that you can define on a silencing rule:
+* Who does the rule affect? **All user** in the space or **Myself**
+* When does is to apply? **Immediately** or on a **Schedule** (when setting immediately you can set duration)
+
+For further help on setting alert notification silencing rules go to [Manage Alert Notification Silencing Rules](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/alerts-notifications/manage-alert-notification-silencing-rules.md).
+
+> ⚠️ This feature is only available for [Netdata paid plans](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/edit/master/docs/cloud/manage/plans.md).

-## Definition bar
-Each composite chart has a definition bar to provide information about the following:
+You can rapidly access condensed information for collected metrics, grouped by node, monitored instances, dimension, or any key/value label pair.
-* Grouping option
-* Aggregate function to be applied in case multiple data sources exist
-* Instances
-* Nodes
-* Dimensions, and
-* Aggregate function over time to be applied if one point in the chart consists of multiple data points aggregated
+At the Definition bar of each chart, there are a few dropdown menus:
-### Group by dimension, node, or chart
+<img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/43294513/235470150-62a3b9ac-51ca-4c0d-81de-8804e3d733eb.png" width="900"/>
-Click on the **dimension** dropdown to change how a composite chart groups metrics.
+These dropdown menus have 2 functions:
-The default option is by _dimension_, so that each line/area in the visualization is the aggregation of a single
-dimension.
-This provides a per dimension view of the data from all the nodes in the War Room, taking into account filtering
-criteria if defined.
+1. Provide additional information about the visualized chart, to help with understanding the data that is presented.
+2. Provide filtering and grouping capabilities, altering the query on the fly, to help get different views of the dataset.
-A composite chart grouped by _node_ visualizes a single metric across contributing nodes. If the composite chart has
-five
-contributing nodes, there will be five lines/areas. This is typically an absolute value of the sum of the dimensions
-over each node but there
-are some opinionated-but-valuable exceptions where a specific dimension is selected.
-Grouping by nodes allows you to quickly understand which nodes in your infrastructure are experiencing anomalous
-behavior.
+The NIDL framework attaches metadata to every metric that is collected to provide for each of them the following consolidated data for the visible time frame:
-A composite chart grouped by _instance_ visualizes each instance of one software or hardware on a node and displays
-these as a separate dimension. By grouping the
-`disk.io` chart by _instance_, you can visualize the activity of each disk on each node that contributes to the
-composite
-chart.
+1. The volume contribution of each metric into the final query. So even if a query comes from 1000 nodes, the contribution of each node in the result can instantly be visualized. The same goes for instances, dimensions and labels. Especially for labels, Netdata also provides the volume contribution of each label `key:value` pair to the final query, so that you can immediately see how much every label value involved in the query affected the chart.
+2. The anomaly rate of each of them for the time-frame of the query. This is used to quickly spot which of the nodes, instances, dimensions or labels have anomalies in the requested time-frame.
+3. The minimum, average and maximum values of all the points used for the query. This is used to quickly spot which of the nodes, instances, dimensions or labels are responsible for a spike or a dive in the chart.
-Another very pertinent example is composite charts over contexts related to cgroups (VMs and containers). You have the
-means to change the default group by or apply filtering to
-get a better view into what data your are trying to analyze. For example, if you change the group by to _instance_ you
-get a view with the data of all the instances (cgroups) that
-contribute to that chart. Then you can use further filtering tools to focus the data that is important to you and even
-save the result to your own dashboards.
+All of these dropdown menus can be used for instantly filtering the information shown, by including or excluding specific nodes, instances, dimensions or labels. Directly from the dropdown menu, without the need to edit a query string and without any additional knowledge of the underlying data.

+### Group by dropdown
-### Aggregate functions over data sources
+The "Group by" dropdown menu allows selecting 1 or more groupings to be applied at once on the same dataset.
-Each chart uses an opinionated-but-valuable default aggregate function over the data sources. For example,
-the `system.cpu` chart shows the
-average for each dimension from every contributing chart, while the `net.net` chart shows the sum for each dimension
-from every contributing chart, which can also come from multiple networking interfaces.

+
+It supports:
+
+1. **Group by Node**, to summarize the data of each node, and provide one dimension on the chart for each of the nodes involved. Filtering nodes is supported at the same time, using the nodes dropdown menu.
+2. **Group by Instance**, to summarize the data of each instance and provide one dimension on the chart for each of the instances involved. Filtering instances is supported at the same time, using the instances dropdown menu.
+3. **Group by Dimension**, so that each metric in the visualization is the aggregation of a single dimension. This provides a per dimension view of the data from all the nodes in the War Room, taking into account filtering criteria if defined.
+4. **Group by Label**, to summarize the data for each label value. Multiple label keys can be selected at the same time.
+
+Using this menu, you can slice and dice the data in any possible way, to quickly get different views of it, without the need to edit a query string and without any need to better understand the format of the underlying data.
+
+> ### Tip
+>
+> A very pertinent example is composite charts over contexts related to cgroups (VMs and containers).
+> You have the means to change the default group by or apply filtering to get a better view into what data your are trying to analyze.

### Aggregate functions over time
When the granularity of the data collected is higher than the plotted points on the chart an aggregation function over
-time
-is applied. By default the aggregation applied is _average_ but the user can choose different options from the
-following:
-
-* Min
-* Max
-* Average
-* Sum
-* Incremental sum (Delta)
-* Standard deviation
-* Median
-* Single exponential smoothing
-* Double exponential smoothing
-* Coefficient variation
-* Trimmed Median `*`
-* Trimmed Mean `*`
-* Percentile `**`
-
-> ### Info

+## Anomaly Rate ribbon
+
+Netdata's unsupervised machine learning algorithm creates a unique model for each metric collected by your agents, using exclusively the metric's past data.
+It then uses these unique models during data collection to predict the value that should be collected and check if the collected value is within the range of acceptable values based on past patterns and behavior.
+
+If the value collected is an outlier, it is marked as anomalous.
+
+<img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/70198089/236139886-79d63cf6-61ed-4aa7-842c-b5a1728c870d.png" width="900"/>
+
+This unmatched capability of real-time predictions as data is collected allows you to **detect anomalies for potentially millions of metrics across your entire infrastructure within a second of occurrence**.
+
+The Anomaly Rate ribbon on top of each chart visualizes the combined anomaly rate of all the underlying data, highlighting areas of interest that may not be easily visible to the naked eye.
+
+Hovering over the Anomaly Rate ribbon provides a histogram of the anomaly rates per presented dimension, for the specific point in time.
+
+Anomaly Rate visualization does not make Netdata slower. Anomaly rate is saved in the the Netdata database, together with metric values, and due to the smart design of Netdata, it does not even incur a disk footprint penalty.

-## Chart action bar
+Currently, this column is used to inform users of any data collection issues that might affect the chart.
+Below each chart, there is an information ribbon. This ribbon currently shows 3 states related to the points presented in the chart:
-On this bar you have access to immediate actions over the chart, the available actions are:
+1. **[P]: Partial Data**
+ At least one of the dimensions in the chart has partial data, meaning that not all instances available contributed data to this point. This can happen when a container is stopped, or when a node is restarted. This indicator helps to gain confidence of the dataset, in situations when unusual spikes or dives appear due to infrastructure maintenance, or due to failures to part of the infrastructure.
-- Chart info: you will be able to get more information relevant to the chart you are interacting with
-- Chart type: change the chart type from _line_, _stacked_ or _area_
-- Enter fullscreen mode: allows you expand the current chart to the full size of your screen
-- Add chart to dashboard: This allows you to add the chart to an existing custom dashboard or directly create a new one
- that includes the chart.
+2. **[O]: Overflown**
+ At least one of the data sources included in the chart has a counter that has overflowed at this point.

+Besides these, when interacting with the chart you can also activate these controls by:
+
+- Hovering over any chart to temporarily pause it - this momentarily switches time control to Pause, so that you can
+ hover over a specific timeframe. When moving out of the chart time control will go back to Play (if it was it's
+ previous state)
+- Clicking on the chart to lock it - this enables the Pause option on the time controls, to the current timeframe. This
+ is if you want to jump to a different chart to look for possible correlations.
+- Double clicking to release a previously locked chart - move the time control back to Play
