+# A nagios/icinga plugin for sending alerts to Slack. See more documentation on the team services page at:
+# https://my.slack.com/services/new/nagios
+#
+# Requires these perl modules:
+# HTTP::Request
+# LWP::UserAgent
+#
+# I am not a perl programmer. Beware.
+#
+# An example Nagios config:
+#
+# define contact {
+#       contact_name                             slack
+#       alias                                    Slack
+#       service_notification_period              24x7
+#       host_notification_period                 24x7
+#       service_notification_options             w,u,c,r
+#       host_notification_options                d,r
+#       service_notification_commands            notify-service-by-slack
+#       host_notification_commands               notify-host-by-slack
+# }
+#
+# define command {
+#       command_name     notify-service-by-slack
