Alert Endpoints

Alert notification methods are versatile. Loggly supports several methods for sending notifications.

Loggly allows you to establish multiple endpoints and configure alerts to terminate at different endpoints. Alert endpoints are shared across your account so you can use endpoints other users have set up.

Alert endpoints can be configured during the Alert setup or from the Alert Endpoint page.

1. Email a user registered on your Loggly account
2. HTTP/S POST or GET
3. PagerDuty
4. Slack
5. Microsoft Teams
6. VictorOps
7. GitHub
8. OpsGenie

Instructions for suggesting other alert integrations are at the bottom of this page.

Email Notifications

An email will be sent to any users configured to receive a notification on a triggered event. If the alert is configured to check for events every minute, an email will be sent every minute while the alert is triggered.

Email recipients must be registered Loggly users.

HTTP Endpoints

Loggly alerts can be integrated with your existing notification services. Provide a URL and choose whether to send a POST or GET request. Loggly will send an event as a JSON object. The example output below shows the 10 most recent events turned off.

{
  "alert_name" : "IndexOutOfBounds Exception",
  "edit_alert_link" : "https://sample.loggly.com/alerts/edit/8188",
  "source_group" : "N/A",
  "start_time" : "Mar 17 11:41:40",
  "end_time" : "Mar 17 11:46:40",
  "search_link" : "https://sample.loggly.com/search/?terms=&source_group=&savedsearchid=112323&from=2015-03...",
  "query" : "* ",
  "num_hits" : 225,
  "recent_hits" : [ ],
  "owner_username" : "sample",
  "owner_subdomain" : "sample",
  "owner_email" : "pm@loggly.com"
} 

PagerDuty

Loggly provides PagerDuty integration. PagerDuty is a third-party service that aggregates monitoring tools into a single point of ingestion. If you already have a PagerDuty account, integration with Loggly will help keep your notifications in one place. See PagerDuty Integration for more information.

Slack

Loggly provides Slack integration for sending static alerts to a Slack channel. Loggly can also insert data from the alert into the message. See Slack Integration for more information.

Microsoft Teams

Loggly provides Microsoft Teams integration for sending static alerts to a Teams channel. Loggly can also insert data from the alert into the message. See Microsoft Teams Integration for more information.

VictorOps

Loggly integration with VictorOps uses the Generic Email Endpoint to create an Incident in the timeline whenever a Loggly alert is fired. See the instructions.

Github

Loggly can send alerts to GitHub using the loggly-github library created by Cargo Media.

OpsGenie

Loggly can send alerts via email or using a webhook. Either method can be used to forward Loggly alerts to OpsGenie. See OpsGenie Integration for instructions on how to create alerts via both methods.
