+# Health API Calls
+
+## Enabled Alarms
+
+NetData enables alarms on demand, i.e. when the chart they should be linked to starts collecting data. So, although many more alarms are configured, only the useful ones are enabled.
+
+To get the list of all enabled alarms:
+
+`http://your.netdata.ip:19999/api/v1/alarms?all`
+
+## Raised Alarms
+
+This API call will return the alarms currently in WARNING or CRITICAL state.
+
+`http://your.netdata.ip:19999/api/v1/alarms`
+
+## Event Log
+
+The size of the alarm log is configured in `netdata.conf`. There are 2 settings: the rotation of the alarm log file and the in memory size of the alarm log.
+
+```
+[health]
+ health db file = /var/lib/netdata/health/health-log.db
+ in memory max health log entries = 1000
+ rotate log every lines = 2000
+```
+
+The API call retrieves all entries of the alarm log:
+
+`http://your.netdata.ip:19999/api/v1/alarm_log`
+
+## Alarm Log Incremental Updates
+
+`http://your.netdata.ip:19999/api/v1/alarm_log?after=UNIQUEID`
+
+The above returns all the events in the alarm log that occurred after UNIQUEID (you poll it once without `after=`, remember the last UNIQUEID of the returned set, which you give back to get incrementally the next events).
+
+## Alarm badges
+
+The following will return an SVG badge of the alarm named `NAME`, attached to the chart named `CHART`.
+
+`http://your.netdata.ip:19999/api/v1/badge.svg?alarm=NAME&chart=CHART`
+
