Notifications¶

CloudSlash posts to Slack when it finds waste, when thresholds are crossed, when s.a.u blocks a remediation, and weekly with a cost digest.

Setup¶

During `cs init`¶

The init wizard prompts for a Slack webhook URL:

  [4/7] Configuring AI and notifications...
        Slack webhook URL (Enter to skip): https://hooks.slack.com/services/T.../B.../...
        Slack notifications configured

Manual Configuration¶

Add to ~/.cloudslash/config.yaml:

Discord (via /slack webhook endpoint)
PagerDuty (via Events API v2)
Custom HTTP endpoints
