Hi Simon. Yes, you can. Please make sure, you're using v1.3 and add/update the following section in your endpoint configuration:
"update": {
"requestMethod": "POST"
},
"resolve": {
"requestMethod": "POST"
}
Thank you for using VMware flings!
I get a successful test in vROPS 7.5 but nothing post to Slack. Here are the last few lines of the log file:
[2019-10-02 16:37:58.055] [ForkJoinPool-1-worker-2] [services.AlertReceiverVrops] DEBUG - Body:

Any ideas?
Hi Kurt. Test alerts are not forwarded to final destination. When you click Test in vROps and the alert is gotten by Imset, it checks the elated endpoint configuration and responds with OK if the configuration is correct and Error if wrong or no configuration is found for that alert.
Test alerts are not sent to final endpoints as these alerts don't contain enough information to keep the final payload the same as if it was a real alert.
Sorry I was not clear enough. I setup a notification in vrops after getting the successful test indicated by the logs above but have not been able to get it to post to our slack channel. Should I see the alert/event get logged in Imset?
You should see errors in log if it fails to send the alert to slack. Slack's API responses have very good descriptions. You can easily find the real reason why it's not delivered by checking out the responses in Imset logs.
Most common reason of this is the wrong url/path of your incoming webhook.
I got it working. It was an error on my end. Thanks for the fling and quick response to questions!!
Hi Gor, I think John meant to say the install instructions PDF is not listed in the downloads.
At least I can't see it either as of now.
Has anyone got this to work with MS Teams?
[util.HTTPSRequester.doCustomRequest(HTTPSRequester.java:421)] DEBUG - Sending 'PUT' request to URL : https://outlook.office.com/webhook/longwebhookstring

[util.HTTPSRequester.doCustomRequest(HTTPSRequester.java:473)] DEBUG - Response : {"Message":"The requested resource does not support http method 'PUT'."}
Can we change the post method?
