Linking services in other tools to FireHydrant services

If you have configured the GitHub, Opsgenie, PagerDuty, or VictorOps integrations, you can link your FireHydrant services to the correlating services in those tools. Once you link one of these integrations to a FireHydrant service, you have the ability to automatically alert a default escalation policy whenever your FireHydrant service is added to an incident. This ensures the service experts will immediately know about an incident taking place and be able to quickly resolve the issue on their service.

If you have a GitHub integration installed, this will allow you to see change events at a service level to quickly pinpoint service issues in an incident.

Linking Services via API

If you want to link multiple services across multiple integration values, you have the option of bulk updating hundreds of services recursively via API. When using the API you have multiple options to create new services with integration links, update current services, or delete integration links from services.

Once you have a bot user setup, visit our API Documentation here to setup your Integration links section inside your services.
