I’m trying to get the slack alerts to look “better” and be slightly more functional. The first thing is I’d like to be able to use the built-in slack markdown codes to format the text of the message. The second thing would a way to include a link to the device page for the device being alerted on displayed as a short name.
I know that the first should be fairly easy with just a modification of the transport.slack.php to include ‘mrkdwn_in’ => [‘text’] in the data array but don’t want to have the daily.sh updater yell at me for a modified file.
The second I’m not really sure how to get around with the $slack_msg = strip_tags($obj[‘msg’]); line in the code since the format for doing named URLs in slack is <http://<site>|<shortname>>.
