Slack
Slack is a messaging application for business, and we have integrated with slack to allow you to integrate your alerts directly into slack.
What do I need to get started?
Access to the platform
A slack Incoming Webhook, you can see here for more information on how to obtain this webhook
Lets Begin
To start with, we need to create the slack webhook as a provider, to do this we need to go to the following:
Step 1:
Navigate to the providers page and go to add a new slack provider: Manage > Providers > Slack > +
Step 2:
Enter the following values in the fields and hit "Create"
Name: Give this provider a name, it can be anything you want!
Webhook URL: This is the webhook URL provided by Slack
Once the provider has been created, you are able to use it in your alerts.
Step 3:
Once you have the provider created, you can test your provider to ensure that it is configured properly. If it is configured properly, you should see a test message appear in the configured channel.
Step 4:
Now that we have the provider configured and working as expected, we are ready to create our alert. To do this navigate to Manage > Alerts > Add:
In the form fields, enter the following information:
Name: The name you wish to give to the alert
Criteria: Either Power Up or Power Down
Alert Rule Type: Select Slack
Slack Provider: Select the slack provider that you just added in the previous steps
Sites: Select all the sites you want this alert to be configured for.
Once you are happy with the alert rule form, proceed to hit "Create" and the alert rule will now become active.
