⚠️ We've moved!

Hi there!

To reduce project dependency on 3rd party paid services the StackStorm TSC has decided to move the Q/A from this forum to Github Discussions. This will make user experience better integrated with the native Github flow, as well as the questions closer to the community where they can provide answers.

ChatOps w/ Slack not working

#1

StackStorm is fully setup in dev and work. I can run commands locally but when setting up ChatOps it does not list any aliases i created.

I followed this
https://docs.stackstorm.com/install/deb.html

then
https://docs.stackstorm.com/troubleshooting/basic_chatops_troubleshooting.html

to troubleshoot but no dice. doing a printenv does not show any of the environment exports and also getting this via debug

not even getting outputs from echo $ST2_HOSTNAME or any ST2 vairable

#2

You need to configure ST2_API_KEY in /opt/stackstorm/chatops/st2chatops.env.

See the fourth bullet point in this section:
https://docs.stackstorm.com/install/deb.html#setup-chatops

#3

Wow, seriously i read that line 200 times and thought it meant that the ENV variables passed would have worked. BUT i manually added the key and boom! restart and works

#4

@blag works perfect, but noticed for this simple cmd it only displays the result
“action completed”

name: “remote_shell_cmd”
pack: “examples”
action_ref: “core.remote”
description: “Execute a command on a remote host via SSH.”
formats:

  • “run {{cmd}} on {{hosts}}”

from
https://docs.stackstorm.com/chatops/chatops.html

the output thou, lets say i run !run date on localhost, completes and i can see the result inside the webgui or cli. but not in slack. something else i missed ?

#5

going to try and add
result:
format: |
Ran command {{execution.parameters.cmd}} on {{ execution.result | length }} hosts.

Details are as follows:
{% for host in execution.result -%}
    Host: *{{host}}*
    ---> stdout: {{execution.result[host].stdout}}
    ---> stderr: {{execution.result[host].stderr}}
{%+ endfor %}
Passing output to slack from workflow
#6

worked :expressionless:

#7

Did you get this working?

#8

Yes thank you, it was the API key was not added
