Slack setup

Get diagnoses pushed directly to a Slack channel. Each message includes root cause, classification, and the exact fix inline.

Setup steps

  1. Go to your Slack workspace's App management page and create a new app or use an existing one.
  2. Enable Incoming Webhooks for the app and create a webhook URL for the channel where you want alerts.
  3. Copy the webhook URL (it starts with https://hooks.slack.com/services/).
  4. Go to your Denpex dashboard, navigate to Alerts, click Add Channel, select Slack, and paste the webhook URL.

What you get

  • A Slack message with the failure type, root cause, and the exact fix
  • Deep link to the Denpex dashboard for full diagnosis details
  • Failure signature and originating rank
  • Severity labels (critical / warning / info) matching your alert configuration

Slack slash command

After connecting Slack, your team can diagnose logs without leaving Slack. Type /denpex followed by a log snippet or right-click a message and select Diagnose with Denpex. Denpex replies in-thread with root cause and fix.

Configuration options

  • Minimum severity: control which severities trigger a Slack notification
  • Quiet hours: suppress non-critical alerts during specified hours
  • Team routing: route alerts for specific teams to their own channel (Team+ plan)
