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 Slack 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 Slack webhook URL for a specific Slack channel. Refer to the Slack documentation on how to set up webhooks.

ℹ️
You can create separate Slack 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.

Manage alert integrations

  1. Navigate to Configurations > Alert integrations.
  2. On the Manage alert integrations page, select Configure for the alert you want to configure.
    The Configure third-party integrations modal displays.
  3. To enable Slack alerts, enter your Slack webhook URL.
  4. To disable Slack alerts, remove the Slack webhook URL.
  5. Select Save.
