 Instructions

  1. In your AppArmor Dashboard, navigate to the Twitter Alerting Mechanism settings page

Expand the “Communications” tab on the sidebar and click “Alerting Mechanisms”

Click on the “Subscribers” tab.

  1. Click on the “Subscribe Twitter Handle” button to add a new Twitter Subscriber

  1. Navigate to https://developer.twitter.com and sign in using the same credentials you use to sign in to your Twitter account.

After signing in click on the “Developer Portal” link.

  1. Click on the Key symbol on your AppArmor Twitter App

    • API Key → Consumer Key

    • Access Token → Access Token

    • Access Secret → Access Secret

If you are following this tutorial from the previous How-to article, you may have already set aside your API Key and Secret. If not, feel free to regenerate them and copy the new keys into the AppArmor Dashboard.
