+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+####
+
+- [Install](http://smstools3.kekekasvi.com/index.php?p=compiling) and [configure](http://smstools3.kekekasvi.com/index.php?p=configure) `smsd`
- To ensure that the user `netdata` can execute `sendsms`. Any user executing `sendsms` needs to:
- - have write permissions to `/tmp` and `/var/spool/sms/outgoing`
- - be a member of group `smsd`
+ - Have write permissions to /tmp and /var/spool/sms/outgoing
+ - Be a member of group smsd
+ - To ensure that the steps above are successful, just su netdata and execute sendsms phone message.
+- Access to the terminal where Netdata Agent is running
+
+
+
+### Configuration
- To ensure that the steps above are successful, just `su netdata` and execute `sendsms phone message`.
-- terminal access to the Agent you wish to configure
+#### File
-## Configure Netdata to send alert notifications to SMS Server Tools 3
+The configuration file name for this integration is `health_alarm_notify.conf`.
-> ### 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:
+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).
-1. Set the path for `sendsms`, otherwise Netdata will search for it in your system `$PATH`:
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
+sudo ./edit-config health_alarm_notify.conf
+```
+#### Options

+## 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.
