Entity links make it easy to quickly access detailed information about any pilot, corporation, alliance, system, region, or ship mentioned in the killmail.

Important Notes

zKillBot uses RedisQ to stream killmails from zKillBoard in near real-time.
If a name query matches multiple results, zKillBot will list the IDs so you can subscribe by ID or refine your search.
A channel may have multiple subscriptions.
Each killmail will only be posted once per channel, even if it matches multiple subscriptions.
Subscriptions are per-channel, meaning different channels can track different entities.
Each channel can have a different display configuration.
Killmails include links back to zKillboard for full details.
ISK values are adjusted to your guild's locale setting.
