rssalertbot

This program is a basic RSS alert feed monitoring program. It will fetch feeds, and then alert via various means for any entries newer than the previous run. Currently it supports alerting via Slack, and email.

Configuring

Create a file named config.yaml, with at the minimum, an entry in "outputs" and at least one in "feedgroups":

outputs:
    log:
        enabled:  True
    email:
        enabled:  false
        from:     feedbot@yourdomain.com
        to:       alerts@yourdomain.com
        server:   smtp.yourdomain.com
    slack:
        channel:  #alerts
        enabled:  true
        token:    its-a-secret

feedgroups:
    - name: DataDog
      feeds:
        - name: DataDog
          url:  http://status.datadoghq.com/history.rss

See the examples directory for more details.
