Gives you the ease of sending commands to Nagios via your team's Slack channel. Currently it supports:

• acknowledging a service problem
• adding downtime to a service

Prerequisites

Nagios-Slack-Bot requires nagios-api to be running with your Nagios service. Nagios Api is a service that sits on top of nagios and provides a http interface.

Installing

How to get the bot running in your local environment

Clone the repo

npm install

You'll need an api tocken from Slack. You can check out the slack docs for creating bot users here

Create a file .env in the project root directory. In it define the api token and the url of the box where your nagios is running. It should look something like this:

API_TOKEN=xoxb-XXXXXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
