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/cachet

need to be installed into the same environment for Alerta to dynamically
discover them.

Configuration
-------------

Add `cachet` 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 = ['cachet']
CACHET_API_URL = ''  # default="not set"
CACHET_API_TOKEN = ''  # default="not set"
CACHET_SSL_VERIFY = False
```

Troubleshooting
---------------

Restart Alerta API and confirm that the plugin has been loaded and enabled.

Set `DEBUG=True` in the `alertad.conf` configuration file and look for log
entries similar to below:
