adding text (mention) in Nagios + Slack

Post by liebe9105 »

Hi! all!
I am currently using Nagios + Slack. When I send a message from the Nagios app, I want to add some text. Especially, I want mention user nickname.
However, when Nagios app send it to Slack, the "@" mentions will be disabled. I guess because mention is in attachments.

Can I separate the payload's text? thanks.

I don't have a Slack to test with, but when I helped a customer setup the integration (https://slack.com/apps/A0F81R747-nagios) - I believe they were able to change the text completely.

If that doesn't lead you down the right path, please post the command definitions for Slack as this may be where we can modify what's being parsed.
