Notifications
Testing notifications
Verify your notification setup works.
Every notification type has a Test button on the create/edit form. Use it after saving credentials and before attaching the notification to a monitor.
Run a test
- Open Notifications in the sidebar.
- Open the notification you want to test (or create a new one).
- Click Test. Checkmate sends a fixed test message to the destination.
- Confirm the message arrived at the Slack channel, Discord channel, inbox, PagerDuty service, or webhook endpoint.
If the test fails
- The webhook URL or token is wrong. Paste from the source again.
- For PagerDuty: check that the routing key is for an Events API v2 integration.
- For Matrix: the bot account must already be a member of the room.
- For SMTP email: confirm host, port, and that the From address is allowed by the server.
- Outbound traffic from the Checkmate server must reach the destination. Check firewall and proxy rules.
- Review server logs. Providers log
"service":"<Provider>Provider"with the error.
