Description

A chef_handler cookbook that sends reports and exceptions to Hipchat.

This cookbook is heavily based on rackspace-cookbooks/chef-slack_handler.

My company (sadly) decided to abandon Slack in favor of Hipchat, and I wanted to keep the same features with it.

Have fun with it and feel free to contribute !
