Microsoft Teams

You can send Netdata alerts to Microsoft Teams 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 Microsoft Teams. You can use the same on all your Netdata servers (or you can have multiple if you like).
  • One or more 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.

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

Name Description Default Required
SEND_MSTEAMS Set SEND_MSTEAMS to YES YES yes
MSTEAMS_WEBHOOK_URL set MSTEAMS_WEBHOOK_URL to the incoming webhook URL as given by Microsoft Teams. yes
DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_MSTEAMS Set DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_MSTEAMS to the encoded Microsoft Teams channel name you want the alert notifications to be sent to. yes
DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_MSTEAMS

In Microsoft Teams the channel name is encoded in the URI after /IncomingWebhook/. You can define multiple channels like this: CHANNEL1 CHANNEL2.

All roles will default to this variable if left unconfigured.

You can have different channels per role, by editing DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_MSTEAMS with the channel you want, in the following entries at the bottom of the same file:

role_recipients_msteams[sysadmin]="CHANNEL1"
role_recipients_msteams[domainadmin]="CHANNEL2"
role_recipients_msteams[dba]="databases CHANNEL3"
role_recipients_msteams[webmaster]="CHANNEL4"
role_recipients_msteams[proxyadmin]="CHANNEL5"
role_recipients_msteams[sitemgr]="CHANNEL6"

Examples

Troubleshooting

Test Notification

You can run the following command by hand, to test alerts configuration:

# 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.
