This is what you will get: You need:
- The incoming webhook URL as given by RocketChat. You can use the same on all your Netdata servers (or you can have multiple if you like - your decision).
- One or more channels to post the messages to.
Get them here: https://rocket.chat/docs/administrator-guides/integrations/index.html#how-to-create-a-new-incoming-webhook
Set them in /etc/netdata/health_alarm_notify.conf
(to edit it on your system run /etc/netdata/edit-config health_alarm_notify.conf
), like this:
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# rocketchat (rocket.chat) global notification options
# multiple recipients can be given like this:
# "CHANNEL1 CHANNEL2 ..."
# enable/disable sending rocketchat notifications
SEND_ROCKETCHAT="YES"
# Login to rocket.chat and create an incoming webhook. You need only one for all
# your Netdata servers (or you can have one for each of your Netdata).
# Without it, Netdata cannot send rocketchat notifications.
ROCKETCHAT_WEBHOOK_URL="<your_incoming_webhook_url>"
# if a role's recipients are not configured, a notification will be send to
# this rocketchat channel (empty = do not send a notification for unconfigured
# roles).
DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_ROCKETCHAT="monitoring_alarms"
You can define multiple channels like this: alarms systems
.
You can give different channels per role using these (at the same file):
role_recipients_rocketchat[sysadmin]="systems"
role_recipients_rocketchat[dba]="databases systems"
role_recipients_rocketchat[webmaster]="marketing development"
The keywords systems
, databases
, marketing
, development
are RocketChat channels (they should already exist).
Both public and private channels can be used, even if they differ from the channel configured in yout RocketChat incomming webhook.
