Telegram

Telegram can be integrated with CrowdSec by using the HTTP plugin. Enable it by following these instructions .

Then replace the chat_id and the TELEGRAM_APY_KEY of the plugin's config so that it send the events to your Telegram chat.

An example configuration:

type: http          # Don't change
name: http_default # Must match the registered plugin in the profile

# One of "trace", "debug", "info", "warn", "error", "off"
log_level: info

# group_wait: # Time to wait collecting alerts before relaying a message to this plugin, eg "30s"
# group_threshold: # Amount of alerts that triggers a message before <group_wait> has expired, eg "10"
# max_retry: # Number of attempts to relay messages to plugins in case of error
# timeout: # Time to wait for response from the plugin before considering the attempt a failure, eg "10s"

#-------------------------
# plugin-specific options

# The following template receives a list of models.Alert objects
# The output goes in the http request body

# Replace with your Telegram chat ID
format: |

"chat_id": "-XXXXXXXXX",

}
