Slack notifications in Eliona

The notification provider Slack in Eliona enables the configuration and management of notifications that are delivered directly to a Slack channel or a Slack group. This is especially helpful for forwarding alarms and other important information to teams in real time.

Configuration

• Note: Enter a note or description that is relevant for the configuration. This can be, for example, the name of the Slack channel.

• Token: Enter the token required for authentication with Slack. This token must be generated in the Slack administration area.

• Save: Click on "Save", to apply the configuration.

Combining alarms

As with other notification providers, alarms can also be grouped here. This makes it possible to combine several alarms and send them in a single message.

Slack templates

Twig templating in Eliona

Eliona offers the option to customize individual templates for Slack notifications. These templates determine what the text style, structure, and content of the notification look like.

• Customize template: Navigate to your Slack template and click the edit icon.

• Override default: Activate the option "Override default", to make individual changes to the template. Once this option is active, you can edit the notification text.

• Edit format & style: The Slack text can be customized to make the desired message clear and easy to understand.

  Example of an alarm text:

  Eliona Alarm: {{asset.name}} ({{asset.gai}}) - {{alarm.msg}} 
  {% if alarm.gone_ts is null %}https://{{domain_name}}/alarms?alarm_id={{alarm.alarm_id}}
  {% else %}https://{{domain_name}}/alarms/history{% endif %}

• Save: Click on "Save", to apply the changes. All future notifications will then use the customized template.
