Slack Actionedit

Use the slack action to send messages to a Slack team’s channels or users. To send Slack messages, you need to configure at least one Slack account in elasticsearch.yml.

Configuring Slack actionsedit

You configure Slack actions in the actions array. Action-specific attributes are specified using the slack keyword.

The following snippet shows a simple slack action definition:

"actions" : {
  "notify-slack" : {
    "transform" : { ... },
    "throttle_period" : "5m",
    "slack" : {
      "message" : {
        "to" : [ "#admins", "@chief-admin" ], 
        "text" : "Encountered  {{ctx.payload.hits.total.value}} errors in the last 5 minutes (facepalm)" 
      }
    }
  }
}

The channels and users you want to send the message to.

The content of the message.

Using attachments to format Slack messagesedit

In addition to sending simple text-based messages, you can use the Slack attachment mechanism to send formatted messages. Watcher leverages Slack attachments to enable you to dynamically populate templated messages from the execution context payload.

The following snippet shows a standard message attachment:

"actions" : {
  "notify-slack" : {
    "throttle_period" : "5m",
    "slack" : {
      "account" : "team1",
      "message" : {
        "from" : "watcher",
        "to" : [ "#admins", "@chief-admin" ],
        "text" : "System X Monitoring",
        "attachments" : [
          {
            "title" : "Errors Found",
            "text" : "Encountered  {{ctx.payload.hits.total.value}} errors in the last 5 minutes (facepalm)",
            "color" : "danger"
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

To define an attachment template that is dynamically populated from the payload, you specify dynamic_attachments in the watch action. For example, a dynamic attachment could reference histogram buckets in the payload and build an attachment per bucket.

In the following example, the watch input executes a search with a date histogram aggregation and the Slack action:

  1. Transforms the payload to a list where each item in the list holds the month, the user count for that month, and the color that represents the sentiment associated with that count (danger or bad).
  2. Defines an attachment template that references items in the list generated by the transform.
"input" : {
  "search" : {
    "request" : {
      "body" : {
        "aggs" : {
          "users_per_month" : {
            "date_histogram" : {
              "field" : "@timestamp",
              "interval" : "month"
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
},
...
"actions" : {
  "notify-slack" : {
    "throttle_period" : "5m",
    "transform" : {
      "script" : {
        "source" : "['items': ctx.payload.aggregations.users_per_month.buckets.collect(bucket -> ['count': bucket.doc_count, 'name': bucket.key_as_string, 'color': bucket.doc_count < 100 ? 'danger' : 'good'])]",
        "lang" : "painless"
      }
    },
    "slack" : {
      "account" : "team1",
      "message" : {
        "from" : "watcher",
        "to" : [ "#admins", "@chief-admin" ],
        "text" : "System X Monitoring",
        "dynamic_attachments" : {
          "list_path" : "ctx.payload.items" 
          "attachment_template" : {
            "title" : "{{month}}", 
            "text" : "Users Count: {{count}}",
            "color" : "{{color}}"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

The list generated by the action’s transform.

The parameter placeholders refer to attributes in each item of the list generated by the transform.

Configuring Slack Accountsedit

You configure the accounts Watcher can use to communicate with Slack in the xpack.notification.slack namespace in elasticsearch.yml.

You need a Slack webhook URL to configure a Slack account. To create a webhook URL, set up an an Incoming Webhook Integration through the Slack console:

  1. Log in to slack.com as a team administrator.
  2. Go to https://my.slack.com/services/new/incoming-webhook.
  3. Select a default channel for the integration.

    slack add webhook integration
  4. Click Add Incoming Webhook Integration.
  5. Copy the generated webhook URL so you can paste it into your Slack account configuration in elasticsearch.yml.

    slack copy webhook url

To configure a Slack account, at a minimum you need to specify the account name and webhook URL in the Elasticsearch keystore (see secure settings):

bin/elasticsearch-keystore add xpack.notification.slack.account.monitoring.secure_url

You can no longer configure Slack accounts using elasticsearch.yml settings. Please use Elasticsearch’s secure keystore method instead.

You can specify defaults for the Slack notification attributes:

xpack.notification.slack:
  account:
    monitoring:
      message_defaults:
        from: x-pack
        to: notifications
        icon: http://example.com/images/watcher-icon.jpg
        attachment:
          fallback: "X-Pack Notification"
          color: "#36a64f"
          title: "X-Pack Notification"
          title_link: "https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/index.html"
          text: "One of your watches generated this notification."
          mrkdwn_in: "pretext, text"

If you configure multiple Slack accounts, you either need to configure a default account or specify which account the notification should be sent with in the slack action.

xpack.notification.slack:
  default_account: team1
  account:
    team1:
      ...
    team2:
      ...
