• send syslog messages to the ip:port you're running csm on
• send the commands to syslog

conf t
logging host 1.2.3.4 transport udp port 5555
archive
 log config
  logging enable
  notify syslog contenttype plaintext

Now you can run csm:

csm -l "1.2.3.4:5555" -m http://mattermost.yourdomain.com/hooks/incomingwebhookkey

mattermost

You'll have to configure the incoming and outgoing webhooks.

• incoming webhooks Go to "account settings" - integrations - "incoming webhooks".

  This URL should be set in the matterbridge.conf in the [mattermost] section (see above)
