Installation
------------
Clone the GitHub repo and run:
$ python setup.py install
Or, to install remotely from GitHub run:
$ pip install git+https://github.com/alerta/alerta-contrib.git#subdirectory=plugins/slack
Note: If Alerta is installed in a python virtual environment then plugins
need to be installed into the same environment for Alerta to dynamically
discover them.
Configuration
-------------
Add `slack` to the list of enabled `PLUGINS` in `alertad.conf` server
configuration file and set plugin-specific variables either in the
server configuration file or as environment variables.
```python
PLUGINS = ['slack']
```
To configure the Slack plugin start by setting up an
[incoming webhook integration](https://my.slack.com/services/new/incoming-webhook/)
for your Slack channel and adding the following configuration settings to `alertad.conf`:
```
SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL = 'https://hooks.slack.com/services/T00000000/B00000000/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
SLACK_ATTACHMENTS = True # default=False
SLACK_CHANNEL = '' # if empty then uses channel from incoming webhook configuration
ICON_EMOJI = '' # default :rocket:
ALERTA_USERNAME = '' # default alerta
```
The `DASHBOARD_URL` setting should be configured to link Slack messages to
the Alerta console:
```python
DASHBOARD_URL = '' # default="not set"
```
