Slack - Alert Integration - Application

This article shows how to setup this script as an alert action. Please take time to review the main overview article if you have not already done so: Slack Alert Integration - Overview. The main overview article contains information necessary to completely setup this script.

This script is specifically designed for application based alerts.

In the Trigger Actions I added 'Execute an External Program' action.

This is the full text in the 'Network path to external program' field.

  • C:\windows\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -command "<C:\path\to\script>\Slack_Alert_Trigger_Action_Application.ps1 '${N=SwisEntity;M=Node.DisplayName}' '${N=SwisEntity;M=ApplicationAlert.ApplicationName}' '${N=SwisEntity;M=Status;F=Status}' '${N=Alerting;M=AlertDetailsUrl}' '${N=SwisEntity;M=Node.DetailsUrl}' '${N=SwisEntity;M=DetailsUrl}' '${N=Alerting;M=AcknowledgeUrl}' '${N=Generic;M=DateTime;F=OriginalValue}'"

**You will need to update the <C:\path\to\script> in the above line to the location that you have the script saved.**

I'm passing in the following Orion variables:

  • Node Name: ${N=SwisEntity;M=Node.DisplayName}
  • Application Name: ${N=SwisEntity;M=ApplicationAlert.ApplicationName}
  • Application Status: ${N=SwisEntity;M=Status;F=Status}
  • Alert Details Page: ${N=Alerting;M=AlertDetailsUrl}
  • Node Details Page: ${N=SwisEntity;M=Node.DetailsUrl}
  • Application Details Page: ${N=SwisEntity;M=DetailsUrl}
  • Auto Acknowledge URL: ${N=Alerting;M=AcknowledgeUrl}
  • Orion Date/Time: ${N=Generic;M=DateTime;F=OriginalValue}

Once that alert action is completed then copy it to Reset Actions.

Finish editing the alert and you should be done.
