ntop + Slack integration
------------------------
ntopng can send alerts to slack.com mobile/web-application by means of the slack webhook.
All you need to do is:
1. Go to http://slack.com and create a team
2. Create a few channels. Make sure you use these exact channel names
#interface
#host
#network
#snmp_device
#flow
#mac
#host_pool
Each channel will receive notifications about a specific topic
3. Invite people to channels
4. Find on the slack page your webhook
- Login into Slack
- Visit https://my.slack.com/services/new/incoming-webhook/
- Click "Add Incoming WebHooks integration", the channel does not matter
- Annotate the "Webhook URL"
- Click "Save", the other settings do not matter
The Webhook URL should look similar to
https://hooks.slack.com/services/ZZZZZZZZZZZz/YYYYYYYYY/XXXXXXXXXXXXX
See https://api.slack.com/tutorials/your-first-slash-command for more details
about creating your webhook
5. Go to ntopng menu Preferences > Alerts and set
- Enable slack integration to ON
- Set a name for the alert sender (e.g. myntopbot)
- Set the webhook to the value you have found on the previous step
6. Wait until an alert is generated
