* Reply to an alert to create a silence until the alert is resolved
* Remove silences created through the bot

## Getting started
See [SETUP.md](SETUP.md) for how to setup and run the template project.
## Project structure
The majority of the code is kept inside of the `matrix_alertbot` folder, which
is in itself a [python package](https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/modules.html),
the `__init__.py` file inside declaring it as such.
To run the bot, the `matrix-alertbot` script in the root of the codebase is
available. It will import the `main` function from the `main.py` file in the
package and run it. To properly install this script into your python environment,
run `pip install -e .` in the project's root directory.
`setup.py` contains package information (for publishing the code to
[PyPI](https://pypi.org)) and `setup.cfg` just contains some configuration
options for linting tools.
`sample.config.yaml` is a sample configuration file. You should copy this file to `config.yaml`, then edit it according to
your needs. Be sure never to check the edited `config.yaml` into source control
since it'll likely contain sensitive details such as passwords!
