If the notifications will be going to a private channel, there is one additional step to take in the Slack application.
- Go into the channel's details.
- Click on the Integrations tab.
- Under the Apps box, click "Add an App".
- Locate and add the app you created on the Slack API site.
Once you have your Slack App configured, open JetBackup 5 and navigate to the Notification Settings (Settings > Notification).
JetBackup will then attempt to verify that the Slack Plugin is properly configured by sending a notification to the channel you specified on the plugin, and should receive the following prompt: "JetBackup notification integration configured successfully". JetBackup will now be able to send notifications through Slack.
Syslog is used for logging and tracking system messages in the Linux environment. This service constitutes the system log daemon (syslogd), where any program can do its logging in addition to kernel messages.

Start a chat with the @BotFather and use the following command to begin the Create Bot Wizard: /newbot
- Insert the name for your bot.
- Insert the username for your bot.
NOTE: The username must be globally unique within Telegram. Per the Telegram documentation, Bot Names are publicly searchable and must be able to receive all messages, but not necessarily respond to them. Users that simply start a chat after it's already been configured or add the bot to a group will be unable to view the previous chat history. Alerts will only be sent to the configured chat ID set when creating the Notification Integration. For more information, please click here.
NOTE: You may need to send a few messages in your new chat with the Telegram bot to update the bot data. Otherwise the activation method in the next step may fail. You can check the status of your Telegram bot by visiting https://api.telegram.org/bot{HTTP_API_TOKEN}/getUpdates in your browser. There should be at least one entry of "chat": {"id"}
.
