+title: "Send Netdata notifications to Matrix network rooms"

+# Matrix
+
+Send notifications to [Matrix](https://matrix.org/) network rooms.
+
+The requirements for this notification method are:
+
+1. The url of the homeserver (`https://homeserver:port`).
+2. Credentials for connecting to the homeserver, in the form of a valid access token for your account (or for a
+ dedicated notification account). These tokens usually don't expire.
+3. The room ids that you want to sent the notification to.
+
+To obtain the access token, you can use the following `curl` command:
+
+```bash
+curl -XPOST -d '{"type":"m.login.password", "user":"example", "password":"wordpass"}' "https://homeserver:8448/_matrix/client/r0/login"
+```
+
+The room ids are unique identifiers and can be obtained from the room settings in a Matrix client (e.g. Riot). Their
+format is `!uniqueid:homeserver`.
+
+Multiple room ids can be defined by separating with a space character.
+
+Detailed information about the Matrix client API is available at the [official
+site](https://matrix.org/docs/guides/client-server.html).
+
+Your `health_alarm_notify.conf` should look like this:
+
+```conf
+###############################################################################
+# Matrix notifications
+#
+
+# enable/disable Matrix notifications
+SEND_MATRIX="YES"
+
+# The url of the Matrix homeserver
+# e.g https://matrix.org:8448
+MATRIX_HOMESERVER="https://matrix.org:8448"
+
+# A access token from a valid Matrix account. Tokens usually don't expire,
+# can be controlled from a Matrix client.
+# See https://matrix.org/docs/guides/client-server.html
+MATRIX_ACCESSTOKEN="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
+
+# Specify the default rooms to receive the notification if no rooms are provided
+# in a role's recipients.
+# The format is !roomid:homeservername
+DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_MATRIX="!XXXXXXXXXXXX:matrix.org"
