FireHydrant

Monte Carlo integrates with FireHydrant using FireHydrant webhooks, making it easy to send alerts directly to FireHydrant for quick visibility and team collaboration. This guide walks you through setting up the integration, so your team can start receiving Monte Carlo alerts in FireHydrant.

Integration setup

To integrate Monte Carlo with FireHydrant, you'll need to create a FireHydrant webhook. Follow these steps to get started:

1. In FireHydrant, navigate to the location where you want to receive Monte Carlo alerts.

2. Follow the instructions in FireHydrant's documentation to create a generic webhook event source.

3. Once the webhook is created, copy the webhook URL provided by FireHydrant.

4. Follow the instructions in Send notifications to FireHydrant to add this URL to Monte Carlo and start receiving alerts.

Send notifications to FireHydrant

1. Go to Settings > Notifications and audiences.

2. Create an Audience or edit an existing one.

3. Define a new recipient channel and select FireHydrant.

   1. (Optional) Enter a custom Recipient display name.

4. Paste the webhook URL you copied from FireHydrant into the Webhook URL field.

5. (Optional) Configure FireHydrant Incident Tags

6. Finally, you can send a Test notification to verify it's received in FireHydrant before saving; or you can add the recipient channel and save the audience directly.

   

FireHydrant Incident Tags

You can define Incident Tags on any FireHydrant notification channel to categorize or route the incidents created by Monte Carlo alerts. Tags support key/value pairs or key-only, and are applied to every alert sent through that audience.

To configure tags:

1. When creating or editing a FireHydrant recipient channel in an Audience, look for the FireHydrant tags section.
2. Add one or more tags by specifying a key and, optionally, a value.
3. Save the audience.
