[Gotify](https://gotify.net/) is a self-hosted push notification service created for sending and receiving messages in real time.
+You can send alerts to your Gotify instance using Netdata's Agent alert notification feature, which supports dozens of endpoints, user roles, and more.

+## Setup
-## Prerequisites
+### Prerequisites
-You will need:
+####
- An application token. You can generate a new token in the Gotify Web UI.
-- terminal access to the Agent you wish to configure
+- Access to the terminal where Netdata Agent is running
+
+
+
+### Configuration
+
+#### File
+
+The configuration file name for this integration is `health_alarm_notify.conf`.
+
+
+You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the
+Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md#the-netdata-config-directory).
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
+sudo ./edit-config health_alarm_notify.conf
+```
+#### Options
+
+The following options can be defined for this notification
-## Configure Netdata to send alert notifications to Gotify
+<details><summary>Config Options</summary>
-> ### 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.
+| Name | Description | Default | Required |
+|:----|:-----------|:-------|:--------:|
+| SEND_GOTIFY | Set `SEND_GOTIFY` to YES | YES | True |
+| GOTIFY_APP_TOKEN | set `GOTIFY_APP_TOKEN` to the app token you generated. | | True |
+| GOTIFY_APP_URL | Set `GOTIFY_APP_URL` to point to your Gotify instance, for example `https://push.example.domain/` | | True |
-Edit `health_alarm_notify.conf`, changes to this file do not require restarting Netdata:
+</details>
-1. Set `SEND_GOTIFY` to `YES`
-2. Set `GOTIFY_APP_TOKEN` to the app token you generated
-3. `GOTIFY_APP_URL` to point to your Gotify instance, for example `https://push.example.domain/`
+#### Examples
-An example of a working configuration would be:
+##### Basic Configuration
-```conf
+
+
+```yaml
SEND_GOTIFY="YES"
GOTIFY_APP_TOKEN="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
GOTIFY_APP_URL="https://push.example.domain/"
+
```
-## Test the notification method
-To test this alert 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.
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Test Notification
+
+You can run the following command by hand, to test alerts configuration:
+
+```bash
+# become user netdata
+sudo 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"
+```
+
+Note that this will test _all_ alert mechanisms for the selected role.
