Hey,
Sorry for the late response, I was in PTO and just returned!
In general, netdata is not idea for SNMP, but it can support it. SNMP is just another “collector”, a data source for Netdata. Whatever we can do to the other gathered dimensions, we can also do it to SNMP values.
- Netdata supports 3 thresholds and their respective status: CLEAR, WARNING, CRITICAL.
- It is possible to do that, but you will possibly need to create a custom notification method. Notification and alarms are 2 different modules in the architecture. Netdata’s health module will constantly evaluate alarms and raise them when needed, while it will call the notification script to issue any appropriate notification.
- This is not currently possible and I can’t imagine that we move to implement it in the near future. Perhaps it’s a great first feature for you/your team to contribute to the open source netdata agent!
The notification script is a bash script that supports many different notification methods, including defining a custom one. In that custom notification method, you could code any logic you want for the message and then call an API to send out the notification (e.g Twillio, Pagerduty, etc.).
