Clone the GitHub repo and run:
$ python setup.py install
Or, to install remotely from GitHub run:
$ pip install git+https://github.com/alerta/alerta-contrib.git#subdirectory=plugins/mattermost
Note: If Alerta is installed in a python virtual environment then plugins need to be installed into the same environment for Alerta to dynamically discover them.
Add mattermost to the list of enabled PLUGINS in alertad.conf server
configuration file and set plugin-specific variables either in the
server configuration file or as environment variables.
PLUGINS = ['mattermost']
MATTERMOST_URL = '' # default="not set"
MATTERMOST_TOKEN = '' # default="not set"
MATTERMOST_USERNAME = # '' default="alerta"Create a new incoming webhook in your Mattermost installation. See https://docs.mattermost.com/developer/webhooks-incoming.html
No templating support at this time. Use hardcoded reasonable one.
Restart Alerta API and confirm that the plugin has been loaded and enabled.
Set DEBUG=True in the alertad.conf configuration file and look for log
entries with mattermost substring. Like:
