Slack integration

The control plane can send notifications to a Slack channel. Notifications include changes to managed PgDog deployments, like Helm chart updates, configuration reloading, and updates to database topology.

Configuration

Slack integration is disabled by default and can be enabled with configuration:

values.yaml

control:
  config:
    slack:
      bot_token: "xoxb-[...]"
      channel: "C0123456789"

The following parameters can be configured via the Helm chart:

Parameters	Description
bot_token	The Slack API bot token.
channel	The Slack channel ID where the Slack bot is allowed to post messages.

Notifications

If Slack integration is configured, the control plane will send the following notifications to a Slack channel:

Notification	Description
Helm install (start)	The control plane starts executing the helm upgrade --install command to modify/create a PgDog deployment.
Helm install (end)	The control plane is finished executing the helm upgrade --install command. If any errors occur, they are included in the notification.
Configuration reload	The control plane triggers a configuration reload on all PgDog instances in a deployment.
