Slack Message Node

The Slack Message Node sends a message to a Slack channel.

Configuration

• Token, required: a Slack access token for the desired server.

• 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.

Output

Example

This example gathers information about currently-connected ingesters, formats that information into a text representation, and posts it to a Slack channel.

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:
