titleIgnore alert

An Ignore action means that the webhook data if it matches the action filter is ignored completely and isn’t evaluated by any other action. Ignore actions come with no default rules. These are the actions to be processed first when webhook data comes to Compass.

On the integration configuration page:

  1. Select Add rule in the Incoming section.

  2. In the Add alert rule dialog, enter a name for the rule.

  3. Select “Create alert” for the Rule type.

  4. Set the filters as necessary.

  5. Select Save.

If incoming webhook data matches the condition set of the filter, the ignore action is processed, thus, the data will be ignored. Learn more about action filters.
