Slack-lens is leiningen project written in clojure.Slack-lens is for listening, storaging and retrieving the message so that the messages could still be found after 10,000 messages limit on slack. Slack-lens use the slack-rtm API to listen to every event that is triggered on the slack. Slack-lens listens to these and filters the events with type = message, then these are stored in elastic-search database.
A web interface is also implemented for viewing the messages .

vagrant up
