Slack

The Slack output plugin delivers records or messages to your preferred Slack channel. It formats the outgoing content in JSON format for readability.

This connector uses Slack incoming webhooks to post messages to Slack channels. Using this plugin in conjunction with the Stream Processor is a good combination for alerting.

Slack webhook
