+# Pushover Agent alert notifications
-# PushOver
+Learn how to send notification to Pushover using Netdata's Agent alert notification
+feature, which supports dozens of endpoints, user roles, and more.
-pushover.net allows you to receive push notifications on your mobile phone. The service seems free for up to 7.500 messages per month.
+> ### 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.
-Netdata will send warning messages with priority `0` and critical messages with priority `1`. pushover.net 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.
+This is what you will get:
-You need:

-1. APP TOKEN. You can use the same on all your Netdata servers.
-2. USER TOKEN for each user you are going to send notifications to. This is the actual recipient of the notification.

+- 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
+## 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:
+
+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.
+
+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:
+
+```conf
+role_recipients_pushover[sysadmin]="USERTOKEN1"
+role_recipients_pushover[domainadmin]="USERTOKEN2"
+role_recipients_pushover[dba]="USERTOKEN3 USERTOKEN4"
+role_recipients_pushover[webmaster]="USERTOKEN5"
+role_recipients_pushover[proxyadmin]="USERTOKEN6"
+role_recipients_pushover[sitemgr]="USERTOKEN7"
+```
+
+An example of a working configuration would be:
+
+```conf
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# 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.
