What does the integration offer?

Use Compass's Wavefront Integration to forward Wavefront alerts to Compass. Compass acts as a dispatcher for these alerts and 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 fired by Wavefront, an alert is created in Compass automatically through the integration.

  • When an alert is resolved in Wavefront, the alert will be closed in Compass automatically through the integration.

Set up the integration

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

  • Add a Wavefront integration in Compass

  • Configure the integration in Wavefront

Add a Wavefront 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 Wavefront integration in Compass, complete the following steps:

  1. Go to your team’s operations page.

  2. On the left navigation panel, select Integrations and then Add integration.

  3. Run a search and select “Wavefront”.

  4. On the next screen, enter a name for the integration.

  5. Optional: Select a team in Assignee team if you want a specific team to receive alerts from the integration.

  6. Select Continue.
    The integration is saved at this point.

  7. Expand the Steps to configure the integration section and copy the API key.
    You will use this key while configuring the integration in Wavefront later.

  8. Select Turn on integration.
    The rules you create for the integration will work only if you turn on the integration.

Configure the integration in Wavefront

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

  1. In Wavefront, select Browse > Web Hooks.

  2. Select Create.

  3. Enter a value for Title.

  4. Select "Alert Opened" and "Alert Resolved" for Triggers.

  5. Paste the API URL copied previously into URL.

  6. Select "application/json" for Content Type.

  7. Enter a value for Web Hook POST Body Template or select Default Template.

  8. Enter a value for Description.

  9. Select Save.
