New Relic to IRC notifier

Notify of New Relic events via their webhooks and IRC.

Installation

Clone the repo then:

1. npm install
2. cp local.json-dist local.json
3. edit local.json with your own values.
4. node app.js

For my fellow mozillians, all you really need to do is send me a PR with edits to irc_channels.json. The setup on our New Relic account is already done.

irc_channels.json is a mapping of a string to a list of IRC channels. For example:

{
    "www.mozilla.org": {
        "channels": ["#www"],
        "types": ["alert", "deployment"]
    }
}

That tells the bot to look for posts from New Relic with an application name that includes the string (e.g. "www.mozilla.org-python"), and to send the info to #www if the type of message is an "alert" or a "deployment".

The bot's name by default is vectorvictor, and he'll join any room in any channels list in this file.
