NS1 now offers up/down monitoring alerts delivered via HipChat.
Step 1: Create the notification token in HipChat
-
Log in to your HipChat organization, and navigate to Rooms.
-
Select the room where you want to receive notifications.
-
Copy either the API ID number or the room name (in this case, #alerts).
-
Click Tokens from the sidebar menu.
-
Under Create new token, enter a label for the origin of the notifications and select Send Notification as the scope.
- Click Create to generate the token.
Step 2: Set up Notifications in the NS1 Portal
-
Navigate to a monitoring job and click on the Notifiers tab.
- 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.
-
Click Add Notifier, and select HipChat from the dropdown menu.
-
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.
