Pingdom helps you gain instant insights into your website’s availability and performance so that you can outsmart the competition with an amazing end-user experience.
You can use our Pingdom integration to route details events from Pingdom to the right users in Squadcast.
Navigate to Services -> Service Overview -> select or search for your Service. Expand the accordion -> In the Alert Sources section, click Add.
2. Select Pingdom. Copy the displayed Webhook URL to configure it within Pingdom. 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 t be generated by the Alert Source.
An Alert Source is active if there is a recorded incident via that Alert Source for the Service.
1. From the navigation bar on the left, click Settings and then select Integrations
2. You get navigated to the Integrations page. Click on Add integration on the top right
3. Here:
Select Type as Webhook from the dropdown
Give the Webhook a Name
Paste the previously copied Webhook from Squadcast under the URL
Ensure the Active option is checked
Finally, click on Save Integration
4. Back in your Integrations page, you should now be able to see the newly added Webhook for Squadcast
5. Now, associate this integration with any of your checks on Pingdom.
Here, we have simply associated this Webhook integration with one of Pingdom's Uptime Checks.
Important:
Please check the Alert when back up checkbox. If this is not done, the corresponding incident in Squadcast will not get auto-resolved when an alert recovers in Pingdom.
That is it, you are good to go!
Every time an alert is created in Pingdom, an incident would be created in Squadcast.
When the alert is resolved (changes state to Up or Success) in Pingdom, the corresponding incident in Squadcast will be automatically resolved.
