New Relic
Steps to configure New Relic integration for incident management, using Squadcast
New Relic is an observability platform built to help engineers create more perfect software. From monoliths to serverless, you can instrument everything, then analyze, troubleshoot, and optimize your entire software stack, all from one place.
Route detailed monitoring alerts from New Relic to the right users in Squadcast.
- 1.Navigate to Services -> Service Overview -> select or search for your Service. Expand the accordion -> In the Alert Sources section, click Add.
2. Select New Relic. Copy the displayed Webhook URL to configure it within New Relic. 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. An Alert Source is active if there is a recorded incident via that Alert Source for the Service.
Log in to your New Relic account.
(1) From Explorer dashboard, click on Alerts & AI. Then naviagte to Workflows and click on + Add a workflow
(2) Fill in the Name, select Issues according to your own preference. Under Mute issues, choose Always send notifications and click on Webhook
