How to create a Grafana bot for Telegram

Raw

Grafana-TelegramBot-HowTo.md

Set up a Telegram Bot

Go to Grafana > Alerting > Notification channels > New channel.
Type: Telegram. It will ask you for a Bot API Token and a Chat ID.
Open a chat with BotFather on Telegram.
Type /newbot
Type your bots name. e.g. Grafana Bot
Type your bots username. e.g. a_new_grafana_bot
You get your Bot API Token. Paste it on Grafana.
Before making getUpdates (in the next step) you should add your bot into your telegram client and run /start. Thus you start chatting with the bot and this room is assigned chat id. (Thanks to @KES777)
Open this URL address, substituing YOUR_API_TOKEN_KEY with yours: https://api.telegram.org/bot<YOUR_API_TOKEN_KEY>/getUpdates
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.
Paste it on Grafana.
Test it click on Send Test. You can test it using Telegram API too, just substitute the parameters with your API Token and Chat ID: https://api.telegram.org/botYOUR_API_TOKEN/sendMessage?chat_id=YOUR_CHAT_ID&text=a_message
