-Learn how to send notification to Pushover using Netdata's Agent alert notification
-feature, which supports dozens of endpoints, user roles, and more.
+# PushOver
-> ### 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.
-This is what you will get:

-Netdata will send warning messages with priority `0` and critical messages with priority `1`. Pushover allows you to select do-not-disturb hours. The way this is configured, critical notifications will ring and vibrate your phone, even during the do-not-disturb-hours. All other notifications will be delivered silently.

+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+####
- An Application token. You can use the same on all your Netdata servers.
- A User token for each user you are going to send notifications to. This is the actual recipient of the notification.
-- terminal access to the Agent you wish to configure
+- Access to the terminal where Netdata Agent is running
-## Configure Netdata to send alert notifications to Pushover
-> ### 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:
+### Configuration
-1. Set `SEND_PUSHOVER` to `YES`.
-2. Set `PUSHOVER_APP_TOKEN` to your Pushover Application token.
-3. Set `DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_PUSHOVER` to the Pushover User token you want the alert notifications to be sent to.
- You can define multiple User tokens like this: `USERTOKEN1 USERTOKEN2`.
- All roles will default to this variable if left unconfigured.
+#### File
-You can then have different User tokens per **role**, by editing `DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_PUSHOVER` with the token you want, in the following entries at the bottom of the same 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

+
+| Name | Description | Default | Required |
+|:----|:-----------|:-------|:--------:|

+
+##### DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_PUSHOVER
+
+All roles will default to this variable if left unconfigured.
+
+The `DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_PUSHOVER` can be edited in the following entries at the bottom of the same file:
```conf
role_recipients_pushover[sysadmin]="USERTOKEN1"
role_recipients_pushover[domainadmin]="USERTOKEN2"

+
+#### Examples
+
+##### Basic Configuration
+
+
+
+```yaml
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# pushover (pushover.net) global notification options
SEND_PUSHOVER="YES"
PUSHOVER_APP_TOKEN="XXXXXXXXX"
DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_PUSHOVER="USERTOKEN"

```
-## 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.
+## 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.
