This is an alert plugin for the Cabot service monitoring tool. It allows you to alert users by their user handle in a Mattermost room.

This plugin is designed to work with the Affirm/cabot fork. See issue 12 for more info.

Enter the cabot virtual environment.

pip install cabot-alert-mattermost
foreman stop
# Add cabot_alert_mattermost to the installed apps in settings.py
foreman run python manage.py syncdb
foreman start

Open the admin panel and add a matter most instance. You'll need the server URL, an API token, and a webhook. You may need to talk to your admin for the last two.

Add the Mattermost alert type to the service you want to alert on. = Make sure you also select a Mattermost instance and enter a Mattermost room ID. You can get the room ID from the Mattermost client from the "View Info" link in the channel name dropdown.
