# Sending HTTP notifications

The most versatile reporting option is the ability to send messages via the HTTP(s) protocol. By default messages are sent as a [form url encoded](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding#The_application.2Fx-www-form-urlencoded_type) body in a request with the [POST](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POST_\(HTTP\)) verb.

To use the option, you only need to provide the url to send to:

Besides the URL it is also possible to configure:

* The message body and type (JSON is supported)
* The HTTP verb used
* Conditions on when to send emails
* Conditions on what log elements to include

For details on how to customize the notification message, see the [section on customizing message content](/monitoring-and-notifications/sending-reports-via-email/custom-message-content.md).

### New in 2.0.9.106

You can now specify multiple urls, using the options:

```
--send-http-form-urls=
--send-http-json-urls=
```

These two options greatly simplify sending notifications to multiple destinations. Additionally, the options make it possible to send both the form-encoded result in text format as well as in JSON format.
