Panopta Integration Guide
Panopta provides infrastructure monitoring and incident management services to enterprises and SMEs, with the ability to provide comprehensive visibility to on-premise, cloud, and hybrid environments. Integrate AlertOps’ alert management platform with Panopta to receive and respond to critical alerts through email, SMS, push notification, and phone alerts. AlertOps ensures that alerts received from Panopta always reach the correct, available team member by utilizing escalation policies and on-call schedules.

Alert Triggering Information
AlertOps will automatically create an incident when a new alert is received from Panopta with an event status of “outage event.”
If an alert with status “outage event” matches an existing Open Alert, AlertOps will recognize the new alert as a duplicate and ignore the alert. The alert will be recorded in the Inbound Messages table as “Mapped Appended.”
AlertOps will automatically close the same incident when an alert with an event status “clear event” is received.
