Slack

Robusta can send playbook results to Slack. There are two ways to set this up.

Recommended: Using Robusta's official Slack app

When installing Robusta, run robusta gen-config and follow the prompts. This will use our official Slack app.

Robusta can only write messages. We don't require read permissions.

You can also generate a key by running robusta integrations slack and setting the following Helm values:

Add this to your generated_values.yaml

sinksConfig:
# slack integration params
- slack_sink:
    name: main_slack_sink
    api_key: MY SLACK KEY
    slack_channel: MY SLACK CHANNEL

Save the file and run

 helm upgrade robusta robusta/robusta --values=generated_values.yaml

This method is recommended as it supports multiple Kubernetes clusters and is easy to setup. Outgoing messages are sent directly to Slack. Incoming messages are routed through Robusta servers to the appropriate cluster.

Note

You can change the slack_channel at any time in generated_values.yaml. No need to re-run robusta integrations slack.

Not Recommended: Creating your own Slack app

You can use Robusta with a custom Slack app as follows:

1. Create a new Slack app.

2. Enable Socket mode in your Slack App and copy the websocket token into the Robusta deployment yaml.

3. Under "OAuth and Permissions" add the following scopes: chat:write, files:write, incoming-webhook, and channels:history

4. Under "Event Subscriptions" add bot user events for message.channels and press "Save Changes"

5. Click "Install into Workspace"

6. Copy the signing token from basic information and the bot token from "OAuth and Permissions". Add them to the yaml

You will then need to run your own Slack relay or enable only outgoing messages. Contact us for details.

Sending Robusta Notifications to a Private Channel

First add Robusta to your workspace using one of the methods above.

Then add the Robusta app to the private channel. See video below:
