What does the integration offer?
Compass acts as a dispatcher for Graylog alerts, determines the right people to notify based on on-call schedules, notifies via email, text messages (SMS), phone calls and iOS and Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until they’re acknowledged or closed.
How does the integration work?
When an alert is created in Graylog, an alert is also created in Compass automatically through the integration.
