Error and exception notification via Slack

Union Station's monitoring capabilities already notify its users through e-mail and SMS if things go south on their servers. This was not yet the case for Slack however.

Slack is quickly becoming an indispensable communication tool for modern work environments. This does not only hold true for our customers, but for ourselves as well.

So in the spirit of helping our customers and scratching our own itch at the same time, we are pleased to announce that Union Station now has Slack integration for all notifications. This should allow you to stay in the loop of any anomalies Union Station detects, directly from the comfort of your Slack channel.

Union Station notifications right in our engineers' Slack channel enable us to respond to potential problems even faster than before
