# Discord
Send notifications to Discord using Netdata's Agent alert notification feature, which supports dozens of endpoints, user roles, and more.
## Setup
### Prerequisites
####
- The incoming webhook URL as given by Discord. Create a webhook by following the official [Discord documentation](https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/228383668-Intro-to-Webhooks). You can use the same on all your Netdata servers (or you can have multiple if you like - your decision).
- One or more Discord channels to post the messages to
- 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](/docs/netdata-agent/configuration/README.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
Config Options
| Name | Description | Default | Required |
|:----|:-----------|:-------|:--------:|
| SEND_DISCORD | Set `SEND_DISCORD` to YES | YES | yes |
| DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL | set `DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL` to your webhook URL. | | yes |
| DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_DISCORD | Set `DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_DISCORD` to the channel you want the alert notifications to be sent to. You can define multiple channels like this: `alerts` `systems`. | | yes |
##### DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_DISCORD
All roles will default to this variable if left unconfigured.
You can then have different channels per role, by editing `DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_DISCORD` with the channel you want, in the following entries at the bottom of the same file:
```conf
role_recipients_discord[sysadmin]="systems"
role_recipients_discord[domainadmin]="domains"
role_recipients_discord[dba]="databases systems"
role_recipients_discord[webmaster]="marketing development"
role_recipients_discord[proxyadmin]="proxy-admin"
role_recipients_discord[sitemgr]="sites"
```
The values you provide should already exist as Discord channels in your server.
