One of the goals of the LibreNMS project is to enable users to get all of the help they need from our documentation.
### Writing docs
When you are adding a new feature or extension, we need to have full documentation to go along with it. It's quite
simple to do this:
- Find the relevant directory to store your new document in, General, Support and Extensions are the most likely choices.
- Think of a descriptive name that's not too long, it should match what they may be looking for or describes the feature.
- Ensure the first line contains: `source: path/to/file.md` - don't include the intial `doc/`.
- In the body of the document, be descriptive but keep things simple. Some tips:
- If the document could cover different distros like CentOS and Ubuntu please try and include the information for them all.
If that's not possible then at least put a placeholder in asking for contributions.
- Ensure you use the correct formating for `commands` and `code blocks` by wrapping one liners in backticks or blocks in ```.
- Put content into sub-headings where possible to organise the content.
- If you rename a file, please add a redirect in for the old file by using `<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=/NewLocation/" />` within the old file name.
Please ensure you add the document to the relevant section within `pages` of `mkdocs.yml` so that it's in the correct menu and is built.
Forgetting this step will result in your document never seeing the light of day :)
### Formatting docs
Our docs are based on Markdown using mkdocs which adheres to markdown specs and nothing more, because of that we also import a
couple of extra libraries:
- pymdownx.tasklist
- mdx_del_ins
This means you can use:
- `~~strikethrough~~` to perform ~~strikethrough~~
- [X] `- [X] List items`
- Url's can be made `[like this](http://www.librenms.org)` [like this](http://www.librenms.org)
- Code can be placed in `` for single line or ``` for multiline.
- `#` Can be used for main headings which translates to a `<h1>` tag, increasing the `#`'s will increase the hX tags.
- `###` Can be used for sub-headings which will appear in the TOC to the left.

The contacts will always include the `SysContact` defined in the Device's SNMP configuration and also every LibreNMS-User that has at least `read`-permissions on the entity that is to be alerted.
At the moment LibreNMS only supports Port or Device permissions.
You can exclude the `SysContact` by setting:
~~
```php
$config['alert']['syscontact'] = false;
```

To include users that have `Global-Read` or `Administrator` permissions it is required to add these additions to the `config.php` respectively:
~
```php
$config['alert']['globals'] = true; //Include Global-Read into alert-contacts
$config['alert']['admins'] = true; //Include Administrators into alert-contacts

You can either assign pollers into groups and set a poller group against certain devices, this will mean that those devices will only be processed by certain pollers (default poller group is 0) or you can assign all pollers to the default poller group for them to process any and all devices.
