A lot of systems send notifications to Slack: CI pipelines, monitoring tools, payment processors, deployment scripts. If all of those notifications land in a single Slack channel, it can be hard to find the signal in the noise — and impossible to filter or search programmatically.
The BunnyLogs Slack integration routes Slack messages into a log stream. Each message becomes a log entry, visible in the live view alongside logs from other sources.
BunnyLogs connects to your Slack workspace via OAuth. When a message is posted to a Slack channel that BunnyLogs is watching, the bot forwards it to the log stream associated with your account.
This is a one-directional integration: Slack messages flow into BunnyLogs, not the other way around. BunnyLogs won't post to your Slack channels.
Go to BunnyLogs → Integrations → Slack and click "Connect to Slack". You'll go through a standard OAuth flow — authorise BunnyLogs to read messages from your workspace.
After connecting, select the log stream you want Slack messages to flow into. Each Slack workspace maps to one stream. You can create a dedicated stream for Slack messages to keep them separate from your application logs.
Invite @BunnyLogs to the Slack channels you want to monitor:
/invite @BunnyLogsFrom that point on, every message posted in that channel appears as a log entry in your BunnyLogs stream within a few seconds.
If your CI, your error tracker, and your infrastructure monitoring all post to Slack, connect them all to a single BunnyLogs stream. Now you can watch all of your infrastructure events in one real-time view — and use BunnyLogs alerts to fire a notification when a pattern matches (e.g. "deploy failed" + "error rate spike" within 5 minutes).
BunnyLogs keeps a history of recent stream entries. For Slack channels used for operational handoffs — "deployment started", "migration complete", "on-call handover" — the stream gives you a searchable, timestamped record that persists independently of Slack.
During an incident, engineers post status updates to a dedicated Slack channel. Route that channel to BunnyLogs and share the stream URL with stakeholders who need to follow along without being in Slack. They get a clean, real-time view of updates as they're posted.
Slack messages ingested by BunnyLogs appear with program: slack and the channel name. If your stream receives both application logs and Slack messages, you can filter the live view to show only Slack messages — or exclude them entirely — using the program filter.
You can create BunnyLogs alerts that fire when a Slack message matches a pattern. For example: alert me on Telegram when a message containing "deploy failed" appears in the #deployments channel. This gives you cross-platform notifications without writing webhook glue code.
