Slack

Send Cloudmon alarm notifications directly to any Slack channel using an incoming webhook URL. Once configured, alarms can be forwarded to Slack automatically when they fire.

Overview

The Slack integration uses an incoming webhook URL to post alarm notifications to a specified Slack channel. When an alarm trigger fires in Cloudmon and the Slack service is selected in the alarm rule, Cloudmon sends a message to the configured channel automatically. Multiple Slack channels can be added, allowing different alarms to route to different channels or workspaces.

Step 1: Get the Incoming Webhook URL from Slack

Create an Incoming Webhook for the Slack channel where Cloudmon should post alarm notifications and copy the generated webhook URL. Refer to the Slack Incoming Webhooks documentation for setup steps.

Step 2: Configure in Cloudmon

1. Navigate to Settings → General Settings → Integrations.
2. Locate the Slack widget and click the + Channel button.
3. Fill in the fields as described in the table below.
4. Click Save.

Step 3: Enable in Alarm Rules

1. Navigate to Settings → Configurations → Alarm Rules.
2. Click the + icon to create a new alarm rule, or open an existing one.
3. Add a trigger and configure the alarm conditions.
4. In the THEN section, enable Third Party Services and select the configured Slack channel from the dropdown.
5. Click Save.

When this alarm fires, Cloudmon will post a message to the selected Slack channel automatically.
