🚀 How to Test DevOps-GPT Slack Alerts Using Linux Logger 🛠️

Thank you all for the overwhelming interest, feedback, and messages — please keep them coming!

One of the most frequently asked questions I’ve received is:

❓ How can I test DevOps-GPT and verify if alerts are being sent to my Slack channel?

Rather than using any complex tools, I prefer a simple yet effective approach: leveraging built-in Linux utilities like logger. Here’s a quick way to generate an error log and check if it’s picked up by DevOps-GPT:

✅ logger -p user.err “Out of Memory (OOM) error: Process killed due to insufficient memory”

✅ This sends an error message to the system logs. If DevOps-GPT is correctly configured to monitor system logs and forward alerts, you should see this message appear in your Slack channel.
