+# Rocket.Chat notifications
+
+This is what you will get:
+![Netdata on RocketChat](https://i.imgur.com/Zu4t3j3.png)
+You need:
+
+1. The **incoming webhook URL** as given by RocketChat. You can use the same on all your netdata servers (or you can have multiple if you like - your decision).
+2. One or more channels to post the messages to.
+
+Get them here: https://rocket.chat/docs/administrator-guides/integrations/index.html#how-to-create-a-new-incoming-webhook
+
+Set them in `/etc/netdata/health_alarm_notify.conf` (to edit it on your system run `/etc/netdata/edit-config health_alarm_notify.conf`), like this:
+
+```
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# rocketchat (rocket.chat) global notification options
+
+# multiple recipients can be given like this:
+# "CHANNEL1 CHANNEL2 ..."
+
+# enable/disable sending rocketchat notifications
+SEND_ROCKETCHAT="YES"
+
+# Login to rocket.chat and create an incoming webhook. You need only one for all
+# your netdata servers (or you can have one for each of your netdata).
+# Without it, netdata cannot send rocketchat notifications.
+ROCKETCHAT_WEBHOOK_URL="<your_incoming_webhook_url>"
+
+# if a role's recipients are not configured, a notification will be send to
+# this rocketchat channel (empty = do not send a notification for unconfigured
+# roles).
+DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_ROCKETCHAT="monitoring_alarms"
+
+```
+
+You can define multiple channels like this: `alarms systems`.
+You can give different channels per **role** using these (at the same file):
+
+```
+role_recipients_rocketchat[sysadmin]="systems"
+role_recipients_rocketchat[dba]="databases systems"
+role_recipients_rocketchat[webmaster]="marketing development"
+```
+
+The keywords `systems`, `databases`, `marketing`, `development` are RocketChat channels (they should already exist).
+Both public and private channels can be used, even if they differ from the channel configured in yout RocketChat incomming webhook.
