zkill-to-slack

Post kills from Zkillboard's RedisQ to Slack

Setup using your own AWS Lambda:

1. Download the latest release's Lambda.zip.
2. Upload Lambda.zip to your AWS Lambda Function.
3. Set the Lambda Environment variables (see Config and Environment Variables).
4. Run your Lambda on a schedule (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/events/RunLambdaSchedule.html). 5 minutes should work and cost only a few cents per month.

Setup using your own server or computer:

1. Clone the repo git clone https://github.com/MattCopenhaver/zkill-to-slack.
2. Navigate into the cloned directory cd zkill-to-slack.
3. npm install.
4. Update the configuration file specific to your needs (see Config and Environment Variables).
5. node node/index.js This will run infinitely until it is stopped or fails.

• There are very rarely failures due malformed or irregular Zkill data, so if you are running this on a server indefinitely, consider running this using a node process manager such as pm2.

Config and Environment Variables:

• queueID: A unique identifier for your Zkill RedisQ, so that you do not get duplicate or miss kills.
• slackHookURL: The URL to your slack for Incoming Webhooks.
• channel: Your Slack channel
• watchForCorp: The corporation name for which you would like to be notified of kills.
• watchForAlliance: The alliance name for which you would like to be notified of kills.
