Third Party Integration

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

  1. Sign in to your Slack workspace if you are not already logged in.
  2. Choose the channel to which you want to add an incoming webhook. You can use an existing channel or create a new one.
  3. Click on the channel name in the left navigation bar to open the channel.
  4. Click on the channel name at the top left of your Slack interface.
  5. Click Integrations.
  6. Click Add an App.
  7. In the search bar, search for Incoming Webhook and click View.
  8. Click Configure, then click Add to Slack.
  9. Scroll down to the Post to Channel section.
  10. Select the channel where you want to receive Cloudmon notifications.
  11. Click Add Incoming Webhooks Integration.
  12. Once configured, copy the webhook URL displayed at the end of the setup. You will paste this into Cloudmon in the next step.

Step 2: Configure in Cloudmon

  1. Navigate to Settings → General Settings → Integrations.
