Superslacker is a supervisor "event listener" that sends events from processes that run under supervisor to Slack. When superslacker receives an event, it sends a message notification to a configured Slack channel.

superslacker uses Slacker full-featured Python interface for the Slack API.

pip install superslacker

$ superslacker [-t token] [-c channel] [-n hostname] [-w webhook] [-a attachment]

-t TOKEN, --token=TOKEN

Post a message to Slack using Slack Web API. In order to be able to send messages to Slack, you need to generate your token by registering your application. More info can be found here

-c CHANNEL, --channel=CHANNEL

#channel to fill with your crash messages.

-n HOSTNAME, --hostname=HOSTNAME

Name or identificator of the machine where the events are been generated. This goes in the event message.

-w WEBHOOK, --webhook=WEBHOOK

Post a message to Slack using Slack Incoming WebHook. In order to be able to send messages to Slack, you need to configure an Incoming WebHook for your Slack account. More info can be found here

-a ATTACHMENT, --attachment=ATTACHMENT

Add text attachment to message. Attachment will have red color border along the left side.

👻 gonna be used as an icon for the message and superslacker as a username.

An [eventlistener:x] section must be placed in supervisord.conf in order for superslacker to do its work. See the “Events” chapter in the Supervisor manual for more information about event listeners.
