Monitoring Ubuntu system with Monit and sending alerts in Slack

May 12, 2020

Monit

code
sudo apt install monit -y

monit --version

Slack

  • Create an app
  • Activate incoming webhooks (by installing the app to your workspace)
  • Select an existing channel or create a new one (e.g. #monit)
code
# test the Webhook by sending sample data
curl -X POST -H 'Content-type: application/json' --data '{"text":"Hello, World!"}' https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXXXXX/YYYYYY/XyXyY123xxxY

This will post a fairly straight forward Hello, World! message to your channel
