Incident management works best when all of your incidents and alerts can be tracked from a centralized hub. Hosted Graphite is a graphite monitoring, alerting and Grafana dashboard platform for engineers. It enables monitoring websites, apps and servers.

The Zenduty-Hosted Graphite integration allows you to sync your Hosted Graphite tickets with Zenduty, and keep up with all the updates. The advanced monitoring allows you to keep a bird’s eye view on all the updates.

Scroll to the end of the page for complete instructions to set up the integration. Read more on Zenduty Docs

Actions:

Once set up, users in Zenduty will get their incidents from their errors in Hosted Graphite. Any action on either application will reflect in the other.

When you delete the integration, make sure to also delete the Zenduty Webhook URL you added in Lightstep. This is to prevent Zenduty updates from being posted to Hosted Graphite anymore.
