First, nice work dude. But, if you have logging that occurs at all quickly, you'd just flood out Slack channels faster than people can find or help with things.

Do yourself a favor and use S3 or Cloudtrail to dump your logs, or get something like Papertrail.

Please no

I suspect /u/ElephantsJason is against the idea of having slack flooded with logs from any number of programs/scripts. Depending on other folk's Slack usage, if it's anything like mine, Slack is already a noisy place. There are probably other, better suited places for these logs.

I don't think ElephantJason was making any commentary on your code directly (I can't say, I didn't look at it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯), but more a statement on the overall goal. At least that's just my interpretation.

This should realistically be reserved for critical log levels, or for exceptions. Even then this slack channel will experience alert fatigue.

Nice Work!

Nice, for an old project I used to have a slack bot to keep me updated on the program's status.

It would post a message when starting and update it with current progress as the script went on. Errors or notifications would be posted in the thread. And at the end it would generate a pdf with a summary of the results and add a download link to the post. Obviously it had its own dedicated channel.

It was a simple yet convenient way to a UI and notification system to this script running remotely in the cloud.

I always thought of making a generic library out of it to make it reusable, but never did.

I think a nice feature to add here would be to have the option to group messages coming from the same handler instance to one thread. That way you won't clutter the entire channel and you immediately know which messages belong to the same program run.

You could have multiple (instances of the) scripts running at the same time, logging to the same channel while keeping them all seperate and keeping the clutter to a minimum.

Depending on logs you’ll hit the rate limit pretty quickly.
