Because of how Netdata integrates with Prowl, there is a hard limit of

-## configuration
+## Prerequisites
+
+You will need:
+
+- a Prowl API key, which can be requested through the Prowl website after registering
+- terminal access to the Agent you wish to configure
+
+## Configure Netdata to send alert notifications to Prowl
+
+> ### Info
+>
+> This file mentions editing configuration files.
+>
+> - To edit configuration files in a safe way, we provide the [`edit config` script](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md#use-edit-config-to-edit-configuration-files) located in your [Netdata config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md#the-netdata-config-directory) (typically is `/etc/netdata`) that creates the proper file and opens it in an editor automatically.
+> Note that to run the script you need to be inside your Netdata config directory.
+>
+> It is recommended to use this way for configuring Netdata.
+
+Edit `health_alarm_notify.conf`, changes to this file do not require restarting Netdata:
+
+1. Set `SEND_PROWL` to `YES`.
+2. Set `DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_PROWL` to the Prowl API key you want the alert notifications to be sent to.
+ You can define multiple API keys like this: `APIKEY1, APIKEY2`.
+ All roles will default to this variable if left unconfigured.
+
+You can then have different API keys per **role**, by editing `DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_PROWL` with the API keys you want, in the following entries at the bottom of the same file:
+
+```conf
+role_recipients_prowl[sysadmin]="AAAAAAAA"
+role_recipients_prowl[domainadmin]="BBBBBBBBB"
+role_recipients_prowl[dba]="CCCCCCCCC"
+role_recipients_prowl[webmaster]="DDDDDDDDDD"
+role_recipients_prowl[proxyadmin]="EEEEEEEEEE"
+role_recipients_prowl[sitemgr]="FFFFFFFFFF"
+```
+
+An example of a working configuration would be:
+
+```conf
+#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# iOS Push Notifications
+
+SEND_PROWL="YES"
+DEFAULT_RECIPIENT_PROWL="XXXXXXXXXX"
+```
-To use this, you will need a Prowl API key, which can be requested through
-the Prowl website after registering.
+## Test the notification method
-Once you have an API key, simply specify that as a recipient for Prowl
-notifications.
+To test this alert notification method refer to the ["Testing Alert Notifications"](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/notifications/README.md#testing-alert-notifications) section of the Agent alert notifications page.
