slack-report

Report the results of executing the specified command to Slack.

Use

The basic interface of slack-report is the same as sudo, time, watch, etc.:

slack-report COMMAND

Any executable command, as well as its arguments, are accepted, and executed.

For example:

slack-report --channel=ops --title="uptime report" time annotate ./tps-reports.sh

The above would execute time (most likely /usr/bin/time), passing it the arguments annotate ./tps-reports.sh (such that these would be executed as well). The resulting standard output and error would be uploaded to Slack, and shared in the "ops" channel, with the title: "uptime report."

For the complete interface, consult slack-report --help.

Installation

slack-report is available from PyPI and GitHub.

To install via pip:

pip install slack-report

Configuration

In addition to its command flags, slack-report may be configured via the shell/process environment.

A Slack API token is required. This may be provided either via command flag --token or environment variable SLACK_API_TOKEN.

The API token requires permission:

  • to post the results file: files:write

  • to look up requested channels by name: channels.read
