Alert integrations
Overview
Alert integrations allow users to receive alerts outside of Slingshot by connecting third-party services. Only Tenant admins can manage alerts from the Manage alert integrations page.
ℹ️
Currently, Slingshot only supports third-party alert integrations for a subset of Cost and Performance alerts.
⚠️
Third-party alerts do not affect email notifications. Slingshot will continue to send email notifications for Cost and Performance alerts.
Role for managing alert integrations
- Tenant admin
Prerequisites
Before you begin, you will need a webhook URL for the specific Slack or Teams channel, or an API access key for PagerDuty.
ℹ️
You can create separate Slack or Teams channels/webhooks to receive each alert type (for example, one channel/webhook to for Cost and another one for Performance), or use the same channel/webhook for both alert types.
For Slack
- Refer to the Slack documentation on how to set up webhooks.
For Teams
- Refer to the Teams documentation on how to set up webhooks.
For PagerDuty
- Refer to the PagerDuty documentation on how to set up API access keys.ℹ️You will enter your PagerDuty API access key instead of a webhook URL on the Slingshot Manage alert integrations page.

- On the Manage alert integrations page, select Configure for the alert you want to configure.The Configure third-party integrations modal displays.
