Thousands of error messages from telegram-alert.jar

We're using this in our logging cluster to send alerts to different channels in Telegram. After about a month of running, the logs on our Graylog instance are filled with:

ERROR: Telegram Bots Api - BOTSESSION org.telegram.telegrambots.exceptions.TelegramApiRequestException: Error getting updates at org.telegram.telegrambots.api.methods.updates.GetUpdates.deserializeResponse(GetUpdates.java:119) ~[telegram-alert.jar:?] at org.telegram.telegrambots.updatesreceivers.DefaultBotSession$ReaderThread.getUpdatesFromServer(DefaultBotSession.java:256) ~[telegram-alert.jar:?] at org.telegram.telegrambots.updatesreceivers.DefaultBotSession$ReaderThread.run(DefaultBotSession.java:187) [telegram-alert.jar:?]

Is this a configuration issue, environment issue, or an issue with the plugin?

Thanks for reporting this, this is definitely an issue with the plugin.
I'll update you once I've fixed it 😃

I am also facing the same issue. Is this issue fixed? If yes, then what I have to do to send notification to telegram bot successfully.

I have restarted the graylog server after that when I send test notification I receive this error

WARN  [TelegramAlert] Error removing old webhook
INFO  [TelegramAlert] Alert was initialized successfully
WARN  [TelegramAlert] Error sending message

Thanks,

Awaiting your response.

Any news? Why this plugin requires webhook?

Hi,

I fixed the issue with the release v2.0.0.
I also restructured and updated the plugin to be able to make use of the template engine.
As this is a breaking change you'll have to delete the old Telegram Alert notification(s) and create a new one (but this is only a matter of seconds so there's nothing to worry about).

Let me know what you think about the new version, suggestions are welcome.
