@aavileli have you enabled kubectl command execution? Could you please share settings section in BotKube config?

[aavileli]

Hi @PrasadG193 in the above debug output from container I can see the slack command is received

Here is the settings from the configmap botkube-configmap

    settings:
      allowkubectl: true
      clustername: ashtest
      configwatcher: false
      kubectl:
        commands:
          resources:
          - deployments
          - pods
          - namespaces
          - daemonsets
          - statefulsets
          - storageclasses
          - nodes
          verbs:
          - api-resources
          - api-versions
          - cluster-info
          - describe
          - diff
          - explain
          - get
          - logs
          - top

Can you please tell me how did you install BotKube? Are you following instructions from https://www.botkube.io/installation/? The configuration you provided is for development version of BotKube.

[aavileli]

I used helm install instructions from the website and made a copy of the values file from here
https://github.com/infracloudio/botkube/blob/develop/helm/botkube/values.yaml.
I will make a copy of this tag https://github.com/infracloudio/botkube/blob/v0.10.0/helm/botkube/values.yaml and test

helm install --version v0.10.0 botkube --namespace ashtest --values ./customconfig.yaml infracloudio/botkube

ok figured it out based on the code
https://github.com/infracloudio/botkube/blob/v0.10.0/pkg/bot/slack.go

			// Serve only if current channel is in config
			if b.ChannelName == info.Name {
				sm.IsAuthChannel = true
			}

sm.IsAuthChannel Was false.

In slack, you can subscribe bots to many channels this was getting set to false as the channel is not in the config field channel.

Thanks for your help
