+# Slack.com notifications
+
+This is what you will get:

+
+You need:
+
+1. The **incoming webhook URL** as given by slack.com. 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://api.slack.com/incoming-webhooks
+
+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:
+
+```
+###############################################################################
+# sending slack notifications
+
+# note: multiple recipients can be given like this:
+# "CHANNEL1 CHANNEL2 ..."
+
+# enable/disable sending pushover notifications
+SEND_SLACK="YES"
+
+# Login to slack.com and create an incoming webhook.
+# You need only one for all your netdata servers.
+# Without it, netdata cannot send slack notifications.
+SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL="https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXX/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
+
+# if a role recipient is not configured, a notification will be send to
+# this slack channel:
+DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_SLACK="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_slack[sysadmin]="systems"
+role_recipients_slack[dba]="databases systems"
+role_recipients_slack[webmaster]="marketing development"
+```
+
+The keywords `systems`, `databases`, `marketing`, `development` are slack.com channels (they should already exist in slack).
