Slack bot to watch log files and run basic server commands

Geologs - Slack Bot

• Runs basic system commands and pipes the output to slack
• Watches specified log files and parses new lines before posting them in a specific slack channel

Pull requests welcome.

Installation

pip install geologs

A new Slack application needs to be made for each server. Use manifest.json as a template for the required permissions.

It is expected the API keys are given as environmental variables as SLACK_BOT_TOKEN and SLACK_APP_TOKEN.

python -m geologs --conf=config.toml

Configuration

Define the log files to listen to, delay in seconds between checking the file and an optional parser.

Available parsers can be found in geologs/parsers.py to format the logs in a pretty format.

[testing]
channel = "#file-logs"
logfile = "test.log"
delay = 10
parser = "basic"

[test2]
channel = "#ssh-logins"
logcmd = "journalctl -u sshd --no-pager -f"
delay = 5
parser = "ssh"
