You can send Netdata alerts to Alerta to see alerts coming from many Netdata hosts or also from a multi-host Netdata configuration. notification_limitations: '' setup: prerequisites: list: - title: '' description: | - A working Alerta instance - An Alerta API key (if authentication in Alerta is enabled) - Access to the terminal where Netdata Agent is running configuration: file: name: 'health_alarm_notify.conf' options: description: 'The following options can be defined for this notification' folding: title: 'Config Options' enabled: true list: - name: 'SEND_ALERTA' default_value: '' description: "Set `SEND_ALERTA` to YES" required: true - name: 'ALERTA_WEBHOOK_URL' default_value: '' description: "set `ALERTA_WEBHOOK_URL` to the API url you defined when you installed the Alerta server." required: true - name: 'ALERTA_API_KEY' default_value: '' description: "Set `ALERTA_API_KEY` to your API key." required: true detailed_description: | You will need an API key to send messages from any source, if Alerta is configured to use authentication (recommended).
