Repo hosts code for culture jam.

How to use it.

Create the slack post action.

wsk action create slackquery query.js

Invoke the slack post action.

wsk action invoke slackquery --param resturl "$restapiurl" --param apiusername "$apiusername" --param apipassword "$apipassword" --param slackhook "$slackhook" --param slackusername "$slackuser" --param slackchannel "#slackchannel" --blocking --result -d -v

Utilize the alarms package.

One can utilize the /whisk.system/alarms package to periodically trigger the slackquery action created before.

The command as below:

wsk trigger create periodic \ --feed /whisk.system/alarms/alarm \ --param cron "* * * * *" \ --param trigger_payload "{\"resturl\":\"$restapiurl\",\"apiusername\":\"$apiusername\",\"apipassword\":\"$apipassword\",\"slackhook\":\"$slackhook\",\"slackusername\":\"$slackusername\",\"slackchannel\":\"$slackchannel\"}"

You can define the variables in you env to save your time copy and post.

Create the rule

After action and trigger creation, we need a rule to bind them.

wsk rule create query_hot periodic slackquery

This command will create a rule the link the action and the trigger, now you should be able to see the slackquery action posted message in you specified slack channel every minute as you assigned.

You can disable the rule.

wsk rule disable query_hot

Use the deploy shell

Copy template.local.env to local.env with following command.

cp template.local.env local.env

Inside the local.env, update the corresponding variable values.

Then run the deploy script

sh deploy.sh

The shell will create an action named slackquery, and create a trigger named periodic. then create a rule named query_hot to bind the action and the trigger together. The trigger will invoke slackquery action every minute.
