Hygieia Misc Collectors / Chat Ops

The ChatOpsCollector works a little differently than other collectors as you only have to run it once for widget to register. We are working to make a robust admin module which will provide the same functionality to register as well as enable/disable a widget without having to write and run collector like this one. Stay tuned.

I have tested this with Enterprise Hipchat version, It is not tested against public HipChat, but it should work.

Supported Chat Application

• HipChat
• Slack.com (Not implemented yet, looking for community to contribute)
• Gitter.im (Not implemented yet, looking for community to contribute)

ChatOps Collector properties file

dbname=Your Mongodb Name
dbusername=your mongodb username
dbpassword=your mongodb password
dbhost=your mongodb host
dbport=your mongodb port
logging.file=./logs/chatops.log
chatops.cron=5 * * * * *

Make sure the configuration file chatops.properties is in the same folder where the collector jar is before starting.

How to start the collector

java -jar <chatopscollector.jar> --spring.config.name=chatops

If your properties file is in different location than your start command would look like:

java -jar <chatopscollector.jar> \
  --spring.config.name=chatops \
  --spring.config.location=path to external properties file
