Raw
gistfile1.md
  1. Go to Grafana > Alerting > Notification channels > New channel.
  2. Type: Telegram. It will ask you for a Bot API Token and a Chat ID.
  3. Open a chat with BotFather on Telegram.
  4. Type /newbot
  5. Type your bots name. F.e: Grafana Bot
  6. Type your bots username. F.e: a_new_grafana_bot
  7. You have your Bot API Token. Paste it on Grafana.
  8. Open this URL address, substituing YOUR_API_TOKEN_KEY with yours: https://api.telegram.org/botYOUR_API_TOKEN_KEY/getUpdates
  9. The response may look like this: {"ok":true,"result":[{"update_id":BLA_BLA_BLA", chat":{"id":[CHAT_ID],"title". Copy that CHAT_ID, even with the minus sign.
  10. Paste it on Grafana.
  11. Test it click on "Send Test". You can test it using Telegram API too, just substitute parameters with your API Token and Chat ID: https://api.telegram.org/botYOUR_API_TOKEN/sendMessage?chat_id=YOUR_CHAT_ID&text=a_message
