Hello, I'd like to get a few more urgent log messages into slack channel. They're not critical enough to route to Pagerduty and create alerts & incidents, otherwise I could send them to Slack from there. The output plugin at [https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-output-slack](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-output-slack) seems rather dead and installing it using "logstash-plugin install" fails with a big bang. Is there a decent alternative or should I just whip up a script and use exec output? Regards, Mart ---
