Based on the knowledge sources, Elementary requires you to provide either a Slack token and channel, a Slack webhook, or a Microsoft Teams webhook in order to run the edr monitor command. This is a required configuration for the command to execute, as its primary function is to send alerts to one of these destinations. There is no documented way to fully disable alerts or bypass this requirement when running edr monitor; the command will raise an error if none of these are provided. If your goal is to avoid sending alerts (for example, if you only want to generate a report or upload it to S3), you should use the edr monitor send-report command instead, and only configure the destination you want (such as S3). If you have both Slack and S3 configured and want to skip Slack, you can pass a dummy or empty string for the Slack token as a workaround, but this is not an officially documented feature. The recommended approach is to run separate commands for each destination and only configure what you need for each run. For example: - To upload a report to S3 only:

edr monitor send-report --aws-access-key-id <ACCESS_KEY_ID> --aws-secret-access-key <SECRET_ACCESS_KEY> --s3-bucket-name <BUCKET_NAME>

- To send alerts to Slack only:

edr monitor --slack-token <your_slack_token> --slack-channel-name <slack_channel_to_post_at>

If you have a config.yml file with both Slack and S3 configured, there is currently no official flag to disable Slack alerts entirely; this has been raised as a feature request by users, but is not yet implemented. You may consider opening an issue on GitHub if this is a critical need for your workflow [source](https://slack.com/archives/C02CTC89LAX/p1670392016612779), [source](https://slack.com/archives/C02CTC89LAX/p1670392016612779), [source](https://slack.com/archives/C02CTC89LAX/p1670392016612779). In summary: There is no built-in way to disable alerts when running edr monitor; you must provide one of the required integrations, or use a different command if you do not want alerts sent.
