-## Configure Netdata to send alert notifications to Twilio
+## Setup
-> ### 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.
+### Prerequisites
-Edit `health_alarm_notify.conf`, changes to this file do not require restarting Netdata:
+####
-1. Set `SEND_TWILIO` to `YES`.
-2. Set `TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID` to your account SID.
-3. Set `TWILIO_ACCOUNT_TOKEN` to your account token.
-4. Set `TWILIO_NUMBER` to your account's number.
-5. Set `DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_TWILIO` to the number you want the alert notifications to be sent to.
- You can define multiple numbers like this: `+15555555555 +17777777777`.
- All roles will default to this variable if left unconfigured.
+- Get your SID, and Token from https://www.twilio.com/console
+- Terminal access to the Agent you wish to configure
- > ### Note
- >
- > Please not that if your account is a trial account you will only be able to send notifications to the number you signed up with.
-You can then have different recipients per **role**, by editing `DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_TWILIO` with the recipient's number you want, in the following entries at the bottom of the same file:

+### Configuration

+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata

+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"
```
-## Test the notification method
+Note that this will test _all_ alert mechanisms for the selected role.
+
-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.
