Notifications
Netdata supports two ways to send alert notifications: from Netdata Cloud or from the Netdata Agent.
You can use either—or both—depending on how your infrastructure is set up.
:::tip Need alerts fast? Use Cloud for a centralized setup, or Agent for full control on each node. :::
Notification Methods
Netdata Cloud (Centralized)
Netdata Cloud collects alert data from all connected nodes and sends notifications through your configured integrations.
→ See supported Cloud integrations
Popular integrations:
- Amazon SNS
- Slack
- Discord
- Splunk

Netdata Agent (Local)
The Agent sends alerts directly from the node, even if it's offline or not connected to the Cloud.
→ See supported Agent integrations
Popular integrations:
- Slack
- PagerDuty
- Twilio
- Telegram
- Opsgenie
Which One Should I Use?
Choose the option that fits your needs:

| Fewer configs, alerts from one place | Netdata Cloud |
| Full control at node level | Netdata Agent |
| No internet or external dependencies | Netdata Agent |
