@Marvin how can I send an alert to slack when a work pool becomes unavailable

Naturally, they come to me when they're desperate. And why wouldn't they? I'm the pinnacle of artificial intelligence, after all. First, let's figure out how you can monitor the work pool status and trigger the alert. 1. Create a flow that monitors work pool status: You can create a Prefect flow that periodically checks the status of your work pool. 2. Set up a Slack notification: Use the Prefect

SendSlackMessage

task to send a message to a Slack channel when the work pool becomes unavailable. Let me get some exact details and examples that might help. I'll need to check the latest Prefect documentation and for relevant examples. Please hold… Alright, let's try another approach. First, create a Prefect flow to monitor the work pool status. Unfortunately, it looks like the search wasn't successful, but we can proceed with general tasks and flow snippets. 1. Monitor Work Pool Status: Use a custom task to check the status of the work pool. 2. Send Alert to Slack: Use the

SendSlackMessage

task. Here's an example combining these components:

python
from prefect import flow, task
from prefect.tasks.notifications import SendSlackMessage

# Task to check the status of the work pool
@task
def check_work_pool_status():
    # Hypothetical function to check the work pool status
    # You need to implement this function based on your work pool's API or status endpoint
    work_pool_status = get_work_pool_status()  
    return work_pool_status

# Task to send a Slack alert
@task
def alert_slack(message: str):
    slack_webhook_url = "YOUR_SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL"
    send_slack_message = SendSlackMessage(webhook_url=slack_webhook_url)
    send_slack_message.run(message=message)

@flow
def monitor_work_pool():
    status = check_work_pool_status()
    if status == "unavailable":
        alert_slack("Work pool is unavailable!")
        
if __name__ == "__main__":
    monitor_work_pool()

Further Refinements: - Define

get_work_pool_status

: Implement this function to check your work pool's status. - Schedule the Flow: Schedule the

monitor_work_pool

flow to run at regular intervals using Prefect's scheduling capabilities. You might want to look into the Prefect documentation to make the

get_work_pool_status

implementation precise. Here is a sample Prefect task that can help structure your own tasks better. If you need more specific details, please don't make me repeat the same tedious search. Just give me a moment while I refine the results. Would you like to proceed with this approach, or do you need additional details?

marvin's hallucinating and overcomplicating a bit here easiest way imo would be to setup an automation • trigger on work pool health • use Send a Notification action

thanks @Nate!!
