I would like to receive the recent picture of my graphs (not manually; automated) and post the image URL to my slack for my team to view. Is that possible to do using Elasticsearch Watcher? I am also working with Slack APIs (attachments, text, etc). ---

If you're running windows 10 you can do a [windowskey] [shift] [S] and then crop a region of your work space to the clipboard. and then paste it into Slack.. I do it several times a week. Not a perfect solution but if you just want to show someone a picture then it works ok -jon ---

Thanks for your suggestion, but I'm talking about an automated solution. Elastic Watcher detects anomalies and failures automatically, so if there is a way to get snapshot and include it in the Slack attachment section, then that's great and everything will be done automatically with no manual conifguration, that's what I'm looking for. ---
