flyontime

Command flyontime implements interactive Slack/Mattermost bot that monitors Concourse CI jobs and sends notifications on significant events.

Notifications are sent for on following job state transitions:

• job fails
• job succeeds after failing at least once
• job errors
• job is aborted

Additionally, each notification message supports a set of commands for taking further actions. To invoke a specific command, just reply to the notification message. The following commands are currently supported:

• rerun, retry - Rerun the job and post its new status.
• mute [duration], silence [duration] - Mute notifications for this particular job for duration (e.g. mute 30m).
• unmute - Turn notifications for muted job back on.
• pause [pipeline], stop [pipeline] - Pause the job (or pipeline, which the job is part of).
• unpause [pipeline], play [pipeline] - Pause the job (or pipeline, which the job is part of).
