Welcome to Slacker Loggly Bot

This is just a simple example of a Slacker Loggly Bot and is a demonstration of the integration of Loggly and Slack using Botkit.

This bot demonstrates many of the core features of Botkit:

• Connect to Slack using the real time API
• Receive messages based on "spoken" patterns
• Reply to messages
• Use the conversation system to ask questions
• Use Loggly to log messages.
• Use Loggly to search for messages
• Use Loggly LiveTail in order to stream messages to Slack

Depends on:

  -> NodeJS
  -> botkit: ^0.4.7,
  -> winston-loggly: "^1.3.1"
  -> Loggly LiveTail (Token) CMD 
  -> Java If using LiveTail 
  

RUN THE BOT:

Get a Bot token from Slack:

-> http://my.slack.com/services/new/bot

Get a Token from Loggly:

-> https://<your_company>.loggly.com/tokens

INSTALL DEPENDENCIES

-> npm install 
-> npm run installlogglycli - This will install the loggly CLI LiveTail CMD utility. 

Modify the /lib/botconfig.js and add your slack and loggly tokens

BotConfigOptions.SlackOptions = {
    token: "<Enter_Your_Slack_Token>"
}

BotConfigOptions.WinstonLogglyOptions = {
        "subdomain": "<loggly_customer_domain>",
        "inputToken": "<loggly_customer_token>",
        "auth": {
          "username": "<loggly_user_name>",
          "password": "<loggly_password>"
        },
        "tags": ["slackloggly"]
};


BotConfigOptions.LogglySearchOptions = {
    hostname: '<subdomain>.loggly.com',
    port: 443,
    method: 'GET',
    auth: "<loggly_user_name>:<loggly_password>"

};

BotConfigOptions.LogglyEventOptions = {
    hostname: '<subdomain>.loggly.com',
    port: 443,
    method: 'GET',
    auth: "<loggly_user_name>:<loggly_password>"
};

BotConfigOptions.LiveTailOptions = {
    "version":"1.0.3",
    "liveTailToken":"<loggly_livetail_token>"
};

Modify the bot config options above accordingly

Run the bot from the command line:

-> node slackloggly_bot.js

USE THE BOT:

• Find your bot inside Slack to send it a direct message.

** Say: "Hello"

** The bot will reply "Hello!"

• Say: "who are you?"

** The bot will tell you its name, where it is running, and for how long.

• Make sure to invite your bot into other channels using /invite @!

• Next try to log something

** Say: "@<your_botname> log "

** The bot will say the message is logged.

** Say: "@<your_botname> search "

** Say: "@<your_botname> streamlogs -match=<match_string> -ignore=<ignore_string>

** Repeat above to see new message streams that match
