How do I Redirect Heroku Error logs to Slack

What I want to achieve is:

  1. Filter Error logs from Heroku logs
  2. Send only the Error logs to a Slack Channel

I have checked deployhooks but these only work for Deployments and also Heroku ChatOps is also only for Deployments.

Is there a way to constantly tail the logs and redirect the error log to Slack?

One way I can achieve this is using:

heroku logs -t --app app-name | grep "error" > redirect to slack based on webhook

But this requires configuring Heroku cli on a machine and also allowing messages to be posted to slack from that machine. Can this be directly configured to Heroku itself?

As @RangerRanger mentioned there is no way to do this on Heroku without using addons.

I found two add-ons which are easy to configure and allow filtration of logs in real-time and sends messages to slack.

You can use PaperTrail which is easier to configure or use Coralogix which gives you Kibana support.

No. Sorry to say that there's nothing baked into the platform to support streaming exceptions/errors to Slack. That said, you should be able to accomplish this a number of ways. Some more work than others.

For instance, on the low-effort ends you can set up Rollbar for the application in question and it looks like Rollbar natively supports a Slack integration. It's more work but you could also build a custom application to more or less pipe things directly to Slack while listening to the log stream.
