+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+#### 
+
+- An access key under 'API ACCESS (REST)' (you will want a live key), you can read more [here](https://developers.messagebird.com/quickstarts/sms/test-credits-api-keys/).
+- Access to the terminal where Netdata Agent is running
+
+
+
+### Configuration
+
+#### File
+
+The configuration file name for this integration is `health_alarm_notify.conf`.
+
+
+You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the
+Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/netdata-agent/configuration.md#the-netdata-config-directory).
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
+sudo ./edit-config health_alarm_notify.conf
+```
+#### Options
+
+The following options can be defined for this notification
+
+<details><summary>Config Options</summary>
+
+| Name | Description | Default | Required |
+|:----|:-----------|:-------|:--------:|
+| SEND_MESSAGEBIRD | Set `SEND_MESSAGEBIRD` to YES | YES | yes |
+| MESSAGEBIRD_ACCESS_KEY | Set `MESSAGEBIRD_ACCESS_KEY` to your API key. |  | yes |
+| MESSAGEBIRD_NUMBER | Set `MESSAGEBIRD_NUMBER` to the MessageBird number you want to use for the alert. |  | yes |
+| DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_MESSAGEBIRD | Set `DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_MESSAGEBIRD` to the number you want the alert notification to be sent as an SMS. You can define multiple recipients like this: +15555555555 +17777777777. |  | yes |
+
+##### DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_MESSAGEBIRD
+
+All roles will default to this variable if left unconfigured.
+
+You can then have different recipients per role, by editing `DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_MESSAGEBIRD` with the number you want, in the following entries at the bottom of the same file:
+```conf
+role_recipients_messagebird[sysadmin]="+15555555555"
+role_recipients_messagebird[domainadmin]="+15555555556"
+role_recipients_messagebird[dba]="+15555555557"
+role_recipients_messagebird[webmaster]="+15555555558"
+role_recipients_messagebird[proxyadmin]="+15555555559"
+role_recipients_messagebird[sitemgr]="+15555555550"
+```
+
+
+</details>
+
+#### Examples
+
+##### Basic Configuration
+
+
+
+```yaml
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# Messagebird (messagebird.com) SMS options
+
+SEND_MESSAGEBIRD="YES"
+MESSAGEBIRD_ACCESS_KEY="XXXXXXXX"
+MESSAGEBIRD_NUMBER="XXXXXXX"
+DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_MESSAGEBIRD="+15555555555"
+
+```
+
+
+## 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.
