Integrate with Panopta

What does the integration offer?

Compass creates an alert in the event of a Panopta outage and closes it when the outage is cleared. Use Compass's Panopta integration to extend Panopta monitoring with a robust alert management platform; benefit from on-call schedules, escalations, rich notifications, and more.

How does the integration work?

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

Set up the integration

Panopta is an API-based integration. Setting it up involves the following steps:

Add a Panopta integration in Compass
Configure the integration in Panopta

Add a Panopta 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 Panopta 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 “Panopta”.
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 integration URL generated for your account that contains both the API key and API URL.
You will use this key while configuring the integration in Panopta 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 Panopta

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

In Panopta, go to Configuration > Users & Contacts and add a contact.
Select Add and then Opsgenie Service Management from the menu.
Paste the API URL copied previously from Compass into API URL.
Paste the API key copied previously from Compass into API Key.
Select Create Opsgenie Notification.
Go to Configuration > Notification Schedules.
Create a schedule or modify an existing one.
Select Create New Event and add the notification method you defined earlier.
Under Servers and Server Groups, select the objects you'd like to generate notifications for.
