Interpolate fields from the message using ${field_name}. Nested fields are accessible using a . e.g. ${customer.address.city}

kafka-connect-slack's Issues

Artifact unavailable

I navigated to where I think the artifact should be in circleci but it looks like artifacts are not stored for more than 30 days.

There are no artifacts to show here.
After 30 days, all artifacts associated with a build automatically expire. Since this run is over 30 days old, the artifacts may have been deleted.

I could be looking in the wrong place but i ended up here

It's a bummer too cuz i really wanted to throw this connector in our connect cluster and impress some people at work!

Configure without Terraform?

Can I use this without terraform? I am happy to install the jar and put my configuration in a file for the connector to use at runtime.
