The Sumo Logic App for PagerDuty

Sumo Logic Webhook Connections

PagerDuty works with Sumo Logic using Webhook connections. These connections allow users to send Sumo Logic alerts to third-party applications that accept incoming Webhooks. For example, once you set up a Webhook connection in Sumo Logic and create a scheduled search, you can send an alert from that scheduled search through your PagerDuty account. In addition to an alert, you can include a link directly to a search and even a few search results (depending on the third-party tool you’re connecting to). There is no limit to the number of results sent via Webhook on the Sumo Logic side, but restrictions may exist for your other third-party tools.

After setting up a Webhook connection in Sumo Logic and creating a scheduled search, users can send alerts from that scheduled search as a PagerDuty notification. This helps alleviate the “alert fatigue” that plagues many modern IT departments by prioritizing alerts and allowing for new types of targeted messages.
