+
+
+Send notifications via Email using Netdata's Agent alert notification feature, which supports dozens of endpoints, user roles, and more.
+
+

+<img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/maintained%20by-Netdata-%2300ab44" />
+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+#### 
+
+- A working sendmail command is required for email alerts to work. Almost all MTAs provide a sendmail interface. Netdata sends all emails as user netdata, so make sure your sendmail works for local users.
+- 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 |
+|:----|:-----------|:-------|:--------:|
+| EMAIL_SENDER | You can change `EMAIL_SENDER` to the email address sending the notifications. | netdata | no |
+| SEND_EMAIL | Set `SEND_EMAIL` to YES | YES | yes |
+| DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_EMAIL | Set `DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_EMAIL` to the email address you want the email to be sent by default. You can define multiple email addresses like this: `alarms@example.com` `systems@example.com`. | root | yes |
+
+##### DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_EMAIL
+
+All roles will default to this variable if left unconfigured.
+The `DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_CUSTOM` can be edited in the following entries at the bottom of the same file:
+```conf
+role_recipients_email[sysadmin]="systems@example.com"
+role_recipients_email[domainadmin]="domains@example.com"
+role_recipients_email[dba]="databases@example.com systems@example.com"
+role_recipients_email[webmaster]="marketing@example.com development@example.com"
+role_recipients_email[proxyadmin]="proxy-admin@example.com"
+role_recipients_email[sitemgr]="sites@example.com"
+```
+
+
+</details>
+
+#### Examples
+
+##### Basic Configuration
+
+
+
+```yaml
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# email global notification options
+
+EMAIL_SENDER="example@domain.com"
+SEND_EMAIL="YES"
+DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_EMAIL="recipient@example.com"
+
+```
+
+
+## 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.
