Usage

Here is a demo of kube-eventer with dingtalk sink. Dingtalk is an All-in-one Mobile Workplace like slack. Dingtalk sink can get kubernetes events from eventer. You can do chatops with it. Try it following the steps below.

1. Get dingtalk token Add a chatbot in a dingtalk group and get bot token.
   

2. Install eventer and configure sink
