Proxy support and public source code for the Slack App Alert Integration app

Was looking at https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/5735 and saw that there's no link to a repository that shows the source code. And it says it does not support proxy at the moment. I would love to be able to view the source code and maybe ask for / help develop proxy support for the app. Hoping the developer sees this 🙂

Hello @erlingen ,

The developer has not dropped its contact details for the App on Splunkbase. Also, as you mentioned no link to source code repo. 

But you can download the App from Splunkbase, extract the file, and look at the source code inside the bin folder of the App if you want.

Though Splunkbase's App license do not state whether you can modify the code and use it or not. Though you can definitely not redistribute it.

 

I hope this helps!!!

Since the app info doesn't list any binary files manifest there is a fat chance it's just python code. You should be able to fiddle with it freely.

And in many countries it is a right explicitly granted by copyright law which cannot be contractually revoked (but I don't know where you are from so I cannot tell if your law does that) for a rightful user to "adjust" software to own needs (and yes, it includes modifying the code). But again - you'd need to look into your local copyright regulations to make sure if it covers your case.
