I recently installedProxmox for the first time. As usual, I installed netdata to monitor performance but I am suddenly getting emails from netdata cloud warning me of issues. I have no recollection of doing anything that would cause this.

What is controlling this configuration and how can I change it?
 
I'd wager this doesn't have anything to do with PVE and instead with maybe an update to the netdata application. Maybe try asking on their website/forum/github instead of here. If you still want help here, you definitely need to add more info: what issues is it warning you about, what version of PVE are you running, how did you configure it, etc...
 
So I have just found an obscure post from 3 years ago https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/how-is-user-cfg-related-mapped-to-postfix-aliases.37560/

So yes it is PVE :) that is causing the emails to be sent in comparison to other installs of netdata on Raspbian, Debian or Ubuntu.

Code:
cd /etc/netdata/
./edit-config health_alarm_notify.conf
systemctl restart netdata.service

Set

SEND_EMAIL="NO" in the health_alarm_notify.conf file

I think will solve it.
