-# Send notifications to Opsgenie
-
-[Opsgenie](https://www.atlassian.com/software/opsgenie) is an alerting and incident response tool. It is designed to
-group and filter alarms, build custom routing rules for on-call teams, and correlate deployments and commits to
-incidents.
-
-The first step is to create a [Netdata integration](https://docs.opsgenie.com/docs/api-integration) in the
-[Opsgenie](https://www.atlassian.com/software/opsgenie) dashboard. After this, you need to edit
-`health_alarm_notify.conf` on your system, by running the following from
-your [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md):
-
-```bash
-./edit-config health_alarm_notify.conf
-```
+# Opsgenie Agent alert notifications
-Change the variable `OPSGENIE_API_KEY` with the API key you got from Opsgenie. `OPSGENIE_API_URL` defaults to
-`https://api.opsgenie.com`, however there are region-specific API URLs such as `https://eu.api.opsgenie.com`, so set
-this if required.
+Learn how to send notifications to Opsgenie using Netdata's Agent alert notification feature, which supports dozens of endpoints, user roles, and more.
-```conf
-SEND_OPSGENIE="YES"
+> ### Note
+>
+> This file assumes you have read the [Introduction to Agent alert notifications](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/notifications/README.md), detailing how the Netdata Agent's alert notification method works.
-# Api key
-# Default Opsgenie API
-OPSGENIE_API_KEY="11111111-2222-3333-4444-555555555555"
-OPSGENIE_API_URL=""
-```
+[Opsgenie](https://www.atlassian.com/software/opsgenie) is an alerting and incident response tool.
+It is designed to group and filter alarms, build custom routing rules for on-call teams, and correlate deployments and commits to incidents.
-Changes to `health_alarm_notify.conf` do not require a Netdata restart. You can test your Opsgenie notifications
-configuration by issuing the commands, replacing `ROLE` with your preferred role:
+This is what you will get:

-```sh
-# become user netdata
-sudo su -s /bin/bash netdata
+## Prerequisites
-# send a test alarm
-/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/alarm-notify.sh test ROLE
-```
+You will need:
-If everything works, you'll see alarms in your Opsgenie platform:
+- An Opsgenie integration. You can create an [integration](https://docs.opsgenie.com/docs/api-integration) in the [Opsgenie](https://www.atlassian.com/software/opsgenie) dashboard.

+- terminal access to the Agent you wish to configure
-If sending the test notifications fails, you can look in `/var/log/netdata/error.log` to find the relevant error
-message:
+## Configure Netdata to send alert notifications to your Opsgenie account
-```log
-2020-09-03 23:07:00: alarm-notify.sh: ERROR: failed to send opsgenie notification for: hades test.chart.test_alarm is CRITICAL, with HTTP error code 401.
-```
+> ### 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.
+
+Edit `health_alarm_notify.conf`, changes to this file do not require restarting Netdata:
+
+1. Set `SEND_OPSGENIE` to `YES`.
+2. Set `OPSGENIE_API_KEY` to the API key you got from Opsgenie.
+3. `OPSGENIE_API_URL` defaults to `https://api.opsgenie.com`, however there are region-specific API URLs such as `https://eu.api.opsgenie.com`, so set this if required.
+
+An example of a working configuration would be:
-You can find more details about the Opsgenie error codes in
-their [response docs](https://docs.opsgenie.com/docs/response).
+```conf
+SEND_OPSGENIE="YES"
+OPSGENIE_API_KEY="11111111-2222-3333-4444-555555555555"
+OPSGENIE_API_URL=""
+```
+## Test the notification method
+To test this alert notification method 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.
