Streamline alerts management with Slack integration
Last updated
Integrating Slack streamlines the management of Alerts in clusters, allowing users to receive timely notifications to the defined Slack channel when alerts are detected.
There are two options for creating a Profile: from the Settings tab or directly from the Overview.
Go to the Settings tab on the left panel -> select Integrations -> click the +Add Integration button and select Slack from the drop-down -> insert the required data.
Go to the Overview tab on the left panel -> find the cluster to which you want to apply the Profile and click gear button -> go to Customizations -> find Integrations and click the Communication & Messaging drop-down list -> click the Add New Profile button and select Slack -> configure the profile.
Name the profile.
Configure the profile:
It is important to include relevant data in the slack_token field as it is a mandatory one.
Learn how to configure slack_token here.
Indicate the ID of the Slack channel where you want to receive the alerts. This field is mandatory, and the indicated channel will be the default channel if Advanced Alert Routing fails. To specify the Slack channel, enter its ID in the channel_id field.
Set up Advanced Alert Routings to send alerts to different Slack channels for various workloads within a cluster.
You can create as many as needed Slack Integration Profiles with only one slack_token by changing channel_id.
Verify if your Slack is configured properly with the Test Integration button.
Click Save button
To apply Slack Profile to the cluster, go to the Overview tab on the left panel -> find the cluster to which you want to apply the Slack Profile and click gear button -> go to Customizations -> select the needed profile in the Communication & Messaging drop-down list.
To apply the profile to multiple clusters from a single view, use the Manage Assignments feature.
Go to the Settings tab on the left panel -> select the Integrations -> click the Manage Assignments button -> go to Communication & Messaging section and apply the profiles for the needed clusters -> click the Save Changes button.
If you need to configure routing for Slack alerts in a more advanced way, PerfectScale provides an option for setting it up with labels.
This approach enables sending alerts to different Slack channels for various workloads within a cluster.

To verify the accuracy of your Slack configuration, simply click on the Test Integration button. When the configuration is correct, you will see the message Slack Configured Correctly . In case of Slack Configured Wrongly response, check and ensure the correctness of the data.
channel_id and slack_token are mandatory. Verification will fail if channel_id and/or slack_token are missing or incorrect.
Use Set as default checkbox to automatically assign the profile to the clusters.
NOTE: The manually assigned profile takes priority over the default one.
