Slack Improvements

On-Call notifications

You can now have GoAlert notify Slack channels of on-call changes on a schedule. Notifications can be configured for any change, or at specific times of the day.

Other Improvements

• The config page now has a "Create New Slack App" button that will generate a Slack app manifest pre-filled with GoAlert config
• Alert notifications after the first will be broadcast to the channel from a thread reply (#1566)
• Alerts will now have status updates posted in-thread to the original notification message (#1785)

UI/UX Enhancements

• Search behavior has changed to use a root-word-based search. For user name searching, a word prefix algorithm was implemented more information is available in the PRs (#1860, #1872)
  

• Actions have been moved from the top bar to MUI card actions
  

• Calendar toolbar has been updated and loading status added to the calendar
  

Webhook as a Contact Method

Users may now add webhooks as contact methods. They can be used similarly to email, SMS, and voice. More information can be found under "Using Webhooks" under /docs within the GoAlert application.

Must be enabled in the Admin -> Config page.

User Management UI

Based on feedback in our community slack channel, we implemented some in-app user management solutions:

• Admins can create a user from the user list (#1536)
• Admins can edit a user's role from the user profile (#1506)
• Admins can delete a user from the user profile (#1493)

gRPC SysAPI

A new experimental gRPC API server is now included (disabled by default).

      --listen-sysapi string             (Experimental) Listen address:port for the system API (gRPC).
      --sysapi-ca-file string            (Experimental) Specifies a path to a PEM-encoded certificate(s) to authorize connections from plugin services.
      --sysapi-cert-file string          (Experimental) Specifies a path to a PEM-encoded certificate to use when connecting to plugin services.
      --sysapi-key-file string           (Experimental) Specifies a path to a PEM-encoded private key file use when connecting to plugin services.

Currently supported API methods are AuthSubjects and DeleteUser allowing an external tool to enumerate and delete/cleanup users. (e.g., compare OIDC users with an Active Directory server).

Protobuf definition and certificate information can be found under pkg/sysapi
