Telegram Notifications not working

Help

hello all ,

I have tried to configure Netdata to send notifications through Telegram but it doesn’t seem to work even though I followed the steps in

In the error log I see

go.d ERROR: prometheus[telegram_bot_for_alertmanager_local] Get “http://127.0.0.1:9087/metrics”: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:9087: connect: connection refused

go.d ERROR: prometheus[telegram_bot_for_alertmanager_local] check failed

Any Idea why isn’t working ? and I noticed it asking for something called prometheus but I don’t recall installing it or needed in the steps

Thanks in advance !

Hi, @Jh400. The errors are not related to sending notifications, ignore them.

Any Idea why isn’t working ?

Check Testing Notifications. The script debug output should help in debugging.

Thank you for the feedback @ilyam8

This is the debugging output of one of the roles

I have Removed the ID of Telegram bot and Group

4

I found out why…so stupid for not checking this out from the first place , It seems When the group is upgraded to supergroup , the ID was changed

since this is my first time dealing with Telegram bot , it’s a new thing to learn and remember !
