Email notifications

[Nirjonadda]

Please let me know that How we can disable email notifications?

[ktsaou]

You can disable email notifications by editing /etc/netdata/health_alarm_notify.conf and setting SEND_EMAIL="NO", here: https://github.com/firehol/netdata/blob/f314f1d841d328744bc83a1dfb2b427ab806f126/conf.d/health_alarm_notify.conf#L111

You can disable all the alarms in netdata, by editing /etc/netdata/netdata.conf and setting

[health]
  enabled = no

@Nirjonadda we just changed placing of configuration files and whole config management. You can read more in #4182

[Nirjonadda]

@paulfantom So file location changed? I have found this files both location. So what location we can use for disable email notifications?

/root/netdata/conf.d/health_alarm_notify.conf

/usr/lib/netdata/conf.d/health_alarm_notify.conf

[Nirjonadda]

/root/netdata/conf.d/health_alarm_notify.conf

/usr/lib/netdata/conf.d/health_alarm_notify.conf

If the file exists in /etc/netdata, it will override anything located in /usr/lib/netdata/conf.d. Using this, you can copy the file to /etc/netdata and edit it there just like you would have before the change to disable email notifications.

@Ferroin How to copy from /usr/lib/netdata/conf.d to /etc/netdata?

[paulfantom]

@Nirjonadda

cp /usr/lib/netdata/conf.d/<your_file> /etc/netdata/conf.d/

[Nirjonadda]

@paulfantom One more ask, So need copy from /usr/lib/netdata/conf.d to /etc/netdata because netdata update or upgrade will be overwriting this files?

[ktsaou]

Yes, the files in /usr/lib/netdata/conf.d get overwritten with updates. The files in /etc/netdata do not.

So, just copy the file you need and then edit it.

[Nirjonadda]

@paulfantom Not working to copy. I think does not have conf.d folder in /etc/netdata?

[root@ra ~]# cp /usr/lib/netdata/conf.d/health_alarm_notify.conf /etc/netdata/conf.d/
cp: cannot create regular file ‘/etc/netdata/conf.d/’: Not a directory
[root@ra ~]#

[ktsaou]

Yes, this is the one:

cp /usr/lib/netdata/conf.d/health_alarm_notify.conf /etc/netdata/

[paulfantom]

@Nirjonadda

cp /usr/lib/netdata/conf.d/health_alarm_notify.conf /etc/netdata/
