How OpsBuddy Works

OpsBuddy watches your Slack channel for alerts sent by third-party tools, and notifies you using a Slack mention or a push notification.

OpsBuddy will only notify the specific users you designate, and will automatically ignore non-alert messages, such as alert resolved messages sent by apps and messages sent by regular users.

Filter Rules

Some alerts can be noisy or non-critical. You can configure OpsBuddy to ignore such alerts.

To do this, look for OpsBuddy's thread reply for the alert and click on the "Ignore alerts like this..." button.

Manual Alerts

You can manually alert the on-call users by sending a message starting with the fire emoji.

To try this, send this message to the channel where OpsBuddy is installed:

:fire: test alert
