As we proceed with the bots coupled with tools to make our tasks easier in the form of chatting, we realised there needs to be someone who should do the management activity for the other bots and voila! Say hello to the Master Bot, the bot for deploying and managinf all other bots. This bot is designed to let you manage all your other bots and gather consolidated information about them by just chatting with it. Sounds fun? Let us dig deep into how this works: 1)You will need the masterbot and the OnBots services running in your servers. | Warning |
|---|
Your Masterbot and OnBots services should be running on the same server. This is because the Master needs to interact with the Kubernetes Environment for fetching data and doing management activities for the bots. If both are not in same machine, even if you have ports opened and allow connection between the servers, kubernetes will block the master from accessing it. |
2) Connect it to slack, Hipchat or mattermost 3) Now you can interact with the bot through commands Let us have a look at what are all the commands supported by our Master Bot: | Commands | Description |
|---|
