Summary

InfluxDB users can now send notifications to Discord instead of Slack by contributing a custom Flux function called `discord.send()`. This function was contributed by chobbs and allows InfluxDB users to send critical statuses to a Discord endpoint. To contribute this function, developers need to fork the Flux repository, create a new directory for their package, write the `discord.flux` file with the `send()` function, add a test for the function, compile Flux, and verify that the function has been registered locally before submitting a PR. The community is encouraged to contribute their own Flux packages, including telegraf plugins, community templates, awesome InfluxDB projects, or Third Party Flux Packages, which will continue to impress and humble them.
