# Slack notification script for Munin
# Mark Matienzo (@anarchivist)
#
# To use:
# 1) Create a new incoming webhook for Slack
# 2) Edit the configuration variables that start with "SLACK_" below
# 3) Add the following to your munin configuration:
#
# # -- Slack contact configuration 
# contact.slack.command MUNIN_SERVICESTATE="${var:worst}" MUNIN_HOST="${var:host}" MUNIN_SERVICE="${var:graph_title}" MUNIN_GROUP=${var:group} /usr/local/bin/notify_slack_munin
# contact.slack.always_send warning critical
# # note: This has to be on one line for munin to parse properly
# contact.slack.text ${if:cfields \u000A* CRITICALs:${loop<,>:cfields  ${var:label} is ${var:value} (outside range [${var:crange}])${if:extinfo : ${var:extinfo}}}.}${if:wfields \u000A* WARNINGs:${loop<,>:wfields  ${var:label} is ${var:value} (outside range [${var:wrange}])${if:extinfo : ${var:extinfo}}}.}${if:ufields \u000A* UNKNOWNs:${loop<,>:ufields  ${var:label} is ${var:value}${if:extinfo : ${var:extinfo}}}.}${if:fofields \u000A* OKs:${loop<,>:fofields  ${var:label} is ${var:value}${if:extinfo : ${var:extinfo}}}.}

Hi @anarchivist, thanks for sharing the script, but I get some problem running it.
I've found that commenting out the line 23

https://gist.github.com/anarchivist/58a905515b2eb2b42fe6#file-slack_munin-sh-L23

input=`cat`

the script starts sending alerts to Slack, but if the line 23 is as in your case it stucks. Can you please explain a bit what this line is for?

Thanks for the script!

For others who come here, some advice:

• the gist is called slack_munin.sh but the script contains notify_slack_munin without file extension. I found that you get a "broken pipe" warning in the munin-limits.log and no notification on Slack if the command path is not correct
• you need to put the configuration part above the host tree in Munin, otherwise the script is not called

Hi, I updated the script so it also sends the involved graph image to the chat room, so you can analyze the data without going to munin dashboard.

I had error that "could not run commands" in munin-limits.log.
Buit it worked adding single quotes to contact.slack.command like this.

# contact.slack.command 'MUNIN_SERVICESTATE="${var:worst}" MUNIN_HOST="${var:host}" MUNIN_SERVICE="${var:graph_title}" MUNIN_GROUP=${var:group} /usr/local/bin/notify_slack_munin'

The 2>&1 should be removed from the curl command; this gives the following error

line X: 1: Bad file descriptor

This is due to how munin works these days - munin v 2.0.37-1ubuntu0.1 - ubuntu 18.04

Note: I don't use Munin anymore since I've changed jobs, so this script is effectively unmaintained!

Saved me a lot of time. tnkxx

I have modified this code to make it work to post alerts to MSteams. Anyone interested can have a look at
