Enable Slack on Spinnaker

Question

I have a spinnaker local deployment running on ubuntu 14. I followed the notifications setup guide but its a bit fuzzy. I would appreciate any help in getting this integrated with slack.

Currently, I added a custom echo.yml with the slack configs. But its not picking up. Did not know where to specify custom settings.js (deck) as mentioned in the setup guide (https://www.spinnaker.io/setup/features/notifications/)

I would appreciate any hints/tips. Thanks!

cat /home/user/.hal/default/service-settings/echo.yml

slack: enabled: true token: some-token botName: spinnaker

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS Release:14.04

Answer 1

echo.yml

slack:
  enabled: true
  token: some-token

settings.js

  notifications: {
    slack: {
      enabled: true,
      botName: 'Spinnaker'
    }
  },

Under features at the bottom of settings.js make sure notifications is set to true.

Also you must invite the bot into the slack room, don't worry if the bot is shown as offline.

The latest Halyard allows you to do this with hal - no need for file overrides:
