  • Channel, required: the channel that will receive the message, without a preceding # character.

  • Message: the message body; Markdown is supported.

  • Verbatim Text: optional text which will be displayed verbatim, with no Markdown parsing.

The Text Template node is configured with the following template:

Connected Ingesters:
{{ range .gravwell_ingesters }}
{{ .Name }} {{ .Version }} {{ .RemoteAddress }} {{ .Uptime }} {{ .UUID }}
{{ end }}

The output in Slack looks like this:
