Logz.io
Steps to configure Logz.io integration for incident management, using Squadcast
Logz.io allows engineers to look into their stack with powerful log, metric and tracing analytics based on the cloud-native tools they use.
Route detailed monitoring alerts from Logz.io to the right users in Squadcast.

2. Select Logz.io. Copy the displayed Webhook URL to configure it within Logz.io. Finish by clicking Add Alert Source -> Done.
Important:
When an alert source turns Active, it’ll show up under Configured Alert Sources, you can either generate a test alert from the integration or wait for a real-time alert to be generated by the Alert Source.
