SystemWatchSlack

Python script with systemd units to watch for failed services

This script will use systemd --failed to retrieve failed services and post them to the slack team and channel you specify

Usage

To use SystemWatchSlack you first have to set your team and channel in systemd-watcher.py

Afterward copy the systemd timer and service file to your systemd directory
# cp watch-systemd.* /etc/systemd/system/

Now enable and start the timer
# systemctl enable watch-systemd.timer
# systemctl start watch-systemd.timer

By default the timer will start the script every 10 minutes and 30 seconds after reboot. You can change this in watch-systemd.timer.

Change start time after reboot to 20 seconds
OnBootSec=20sec

Change intervall to every week
OnUnitActiveSec=1w
