Integrate with Redgate SQL Monitor

eWhat does the integration offer?

Compass has a specific email integration with SQL Monitor. SQL Monitor sends alerts to Compass with detailed information. Compass acts as a dispatcher for SQL Monitor 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 the alert is acknowledged or closed.

How does the integration work?

When an alert is created in SQL Monitor, an alert is also created in Compass automatically through the integration.
When an alert is closed in SQL Monitor, the related alert is also closed in Compass automatically through the integration.

Set up the integration

SQL Monitor is an email integration. Setting it up involves the following steps:

Add a SQL Monitor integration in Compass
Configure the integration in SQL Monitor

Add a SQL Monitor integration

In this release, only incoming integrations are fully supported in the Standard plan, at a team level. To use outgoing integrations or the outgoing part of bidirectional integrations, upgrade to a higher subscription plan. There may be restrictions on how you can create and apply integration rules as well.

You can add this integration only from your team’s operations page. Adding an integration from your team’s operations page makes your team the owner of the integration. This means Compass only assigns the alerts received through this integration to your team.

To add a SQL Monitor integration in Compass, complete the following steps:

Go to your team’s operations page.
On the left navigation panel, select Integrations and then Add integration.
Run a search and select “SQL Monitor”.
On the next screen, enter a name for the integration.
Optional: Select a team in Assignee team if you want a specific team to receive alerts from the integration.
Select Continue.
The integration is saved at this point.
Expand the Steps to configure the integration section and copy the email address.
You will use this key while configuring the integration in SQL Monitor later.
Select Turn on integration.
The rules you create for the integration will work only if you turn on the integration.

Configure the integration in SQL Monitor

To configure the integration of SQL Monitor with Compass, complete the following steps:

In Redgate SQL Monitor, select Configuration > Email settings.
Paste the email address copied previously into Send emails to.
Save the changes.
