# Creating a new Transport.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### File location
|
|
|
|
|
All transports are located in `LibreNMS\Alert\Transport` and the files are named after the Transport name. I.e
|
|
|
|
|
`Discord.php` for Discord.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Transport structure.
|
|
|
|
|
The following functions are required for a new transport to pass the unit tests:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`deliverAlert()` - This is function called within alerts to invoke the transport. Here you should do any post processing
|
|
|
|
|
of the transport config to get it ready for use.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`contact$Transport()` - This is named after the transport so for Discord it would be `contactDiscord()`. This is what
|
|
|
|
|
actually interacts with the 3rd party API, invokes the mail command or whatever you want your alert to do.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`configTemplate()` - This is used to define the form that will accept the transport config in the webui and then what
|
|
|
|
|
data should be validated and how. Validation is done using [Laravel validation](https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/validation)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following function is __not__ required for new Transports and is for legacy reasons only. `deliverAlertOld()`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Documentation
|
|
|
|
|
Please don't forget to update the [Transport](Transports.md) file to include details of your new transport.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A table should be provided to indicate the form values that we ask for and examples. I.e:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
