# Twilio


<img src="https://netdata.cloud/img/twilio.png" width="150"/>


Send notifications to Twilio 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

#### 

- Get your SID, and Token from https://www.twilio.com/console
- Terminal access to the Agent you wish to configure



### 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/configure/nodes.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_TWILIO | Set `SEND_TWILIO` to YES | YES | True |
| TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID | set `TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID`  to your account SID. |  | True |
| TWILIO_ACCOUNT_TOKEN | Set `TWILIO_ACCOUNT_TOKEN` to your account token. |  | True |
| TWILIO_NUMBER | Set `TWILIO_NUMBER` to your account's number. |  | True |
| DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_TWILIO | 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. |  | True |

##### DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_TWILIO

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:

```conf
role_recipients_twilio[sysadmin]="+15555555555"
role_recipients_twilio[domainadmin]="+15555555556"
role_recipients_twilio[dba]="+15555555557"
role_recipients_twilio[webmaster]="+15555555558"
role_recipients_twilio[proxyadmin]="+15555555559"
role_recipients_twilio[sitemgr]="+15555555550"
```


</details>

#### Examples

##### Basic Configuration



```yaml
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Twilio (twilio.com) SMS options

SEND_TWILIO="YES"
TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID="xxxxxxxxx"
TWILIO_ACCOUNT_TOKEN="xxxxxxxxxx"
TWILIO_NUMBER="xxxxxxxxxxx"
DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_TWILIO="+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.
