Cloudflare

Cloudflare is a global network designed to make everything you connect to the Internet secure, private, fast, and reliable.

Route detailed alerts from Cloudflare to the right users in Incident Response.

Using Cloudflare as an Alert Source

  1. Navigate to Services -> Service Overview -> select or search for your Service. Expand the accordion -> In the Alert Sources section, click Add.

  2. Select Cloudflare. Copy the displayed Webhook URL to configure it within Cloudflare. Finish by clicking Add Alert Source -> Done.

When an alert source turns Active, it’ll show up under Configured Alert Sources. You can either generate a test alert from the integration or wait for a real-time alert to be generated by the Alert Source.

An Alert Source is active if there is a recorded incident via that Alert Source for the Service.
