Enabling HipChat notifications

Step 1: Create the notification token in HipChat

1. Log in to your HipChat organization, and navigate to Rooms.

   

2. Select the room where you want to receive notifications.
   

   

3. Copy either the API ID number or the room name (in this case, #alerts).

4. Click Tokens from the sidebar menu.

5. Under Create new token, enter a label for the origin of the notifications and select Send Notification as the scope.

6. Click Create to generate the token.
   
   

Step 2: Set up Notifications in the NS1 Portal

1. Navigate to a monitoring job and click on the Notifiers tab.

2. Assign an existing notification list (if one is not attached already), or simply add a new notifier. Note: Refer to this article to learn more about setting up notification lists.
   
   

3. Click Add Notifier, and select HipChat from the dropdown menu. 

4. Enter the API ID number or Room Name, as well as the notification token you just created.

   
   

Notifications are sent to HipChat whenever up/down status changes for a monitor assigned to the same notification list. This can be updated in the Monitors section of the NS1 portal.

HipChat notifications include: monitor name, region, up/down status and timestamp.
