Pingdom Integration Guide

Pingdom helps you gain instant insights into your website’s availability and performance.

What can Xurrent IMR do for Pingdom users?

With Pingdom's Integration, Xurrent IMR sends new Pingdom alerts to the right team and notifies them based on on-call schedules via email, text messages(SMS), phone calls(Voice), Slack, Microsoft Teams and iOS & Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until the alert is acknowledged or closed. Xurrent IMR provides your NOC, SRE and application engineers with detailed context around the Pingdom alert along with playbooks and a complete incident command framework to triage, remediate and resolve incidents with speed.

Whenever Pingdom detects that a website/service is down after pinging the website/server, it triggers an alert in Xurrent IMR; Xurrent IMR will then create an incident. When that website/service goes back up, Xurrent IMR will auto-resolve the incident.

You can also use Alert Rules to custom route specific Pingdom alerts to specific users, teams or escalation policies, write suppression rules, auto add notes, responders and incident tasks.
