Kapacitor and Slack Metrics

Slack is building the platform that connects teams with the apps, services, and resources they need to get work done. Slack was launched in 2014. Millions of people around the world use Slack to bring their teams together, make sense of their work, and drive their business forward.

End-to-End Visibility with Fast Time to Resolution

Send Kapacitor alerts to Slack for proper routing and escalation to get the issue resolved to reduce time to resolution. Kapacitor is an open source data processing framework that makes it easy to create alerts, run ETL jobs and detect anomalies. The Kapacitor and Slack integration allows teams to:

• Collect and use metrics and events data to identify and analyze potential issues
• Set up automatic escalation of alerts
• Schedule on-call duty for IT, Ops, or dev teams

To allow Kapacitor to post to Slack, go here and create a new incoming webhook and place the generated URL in the ‘slack’ configuration section.

Slack Basics

By giving everyone a shared workspace where conversations are organized and accessible, Slack brings all your team's communication together. Although Slack was meant for organizational communication, it has been slowly turning into a community platform.
