Note: We will no longer maintain hubot-mackerel-notifier script, and it has been DEPRECATED.
Using Hubot with the hubot-mackerel-notifier script, you can receive alert notification Webhooks from Mackerel as well as broadcast notifications like the ones shown below to multiple chat tools such as IRC and Slack. (With Slack, notifications are not only sent via Hubot, but can also be sent directly. For more information about Slack notifications please refer to Slack notifications.
17:06 hubot: [Mackerel] CRITICAL: IOwait at app01 (working) Service: app https://mackerel.io/orgs/.../alerts/...
It is also possible to have your bot display a link to a host’s details page in response to typing in that host’s name.
To configure the Webhook request URL pass, append /hubot/mackerel
to the URL. For example if you are setting your bot up with http://some-hubot.herokuapp.com/
, the Webhook URL should look like this http://some-hubot.herokuapp.com/hubot/mackerel
. For more details about setting up the Webhook URL please refer to Setting up monitoring and alerts.
For detailed information about Hubot, its source code, and installation guidance please refer to Hubot’s master documents.
