Overview

The integrations framework allows Compass’s alerting capability to work in conjunction with the most popular IT, operations management, and monitoring tools. Through email and API, Compass can communicate with these tools and process its alerts according to the data they send. With integrations, you can extend your everyday monitoring services with a powerful alert and notification system. Compass integrates with the services GitHub, New Relic, ServerGuard24, and more.

Integration types

API-based integrations

You can forward events from many monitoring tools to Compass for alerting purposes. Compass can catch and process notification webhooks and create well-informed alerts based on the notification data. With this ability, you can let Compass process any HTTP request as well as using many API-based integrations configured specifically for monitoring tools. For example, if you're a Raygun customer, you can use the Raygun Integration to let Compass automatically create and close alerts according to events in Raygun.

Bidirectional integrations

Bidirectional integrations allow data to be sent and processed both ways between Compass and the other applications. A good example is our ServiceNow integration - ServiceNow sends incident events to Compass with detailed information and Compass forwards alerts as incidents to ServiceNow.

Outgoing integrations

The Compass integrations framework has a callback capability that can notify chat applications about Compass events. A good outgoing integration example is our Webhook capabilities which push information via a URL endpoint.

Email-based integrations

You can use Compass email integrations to process your incoming emails for alert management. This integration accepts any kind of email and is fully customizable allowing you to control a robust alerting mechanism tailored to your inbox. Compass also has specific email-based integrations for several monitoring tools, for example: Pingdom, Uptime Robot, Zenoss etc. For example, if you're a Pingdom customer, you can add Compass's Pingdom integration and readily turn Pingdom events into Compass alerts.
