Create a webhook endpoint for Nagios XI

Create a webhook endpoint so that Nagios XI can send automated real-time messages or information to Incident Response.

Before you begin

Role required: Responder, Manager, or Administrator

Log in to Lightstep Incident Response.
On the navigation pane, select Integrations.

Figure 1. Integrations landing page
Click the Nagios XI integration card.

On the form, fill in the fields.


Field	Description
Name	Name of the integration.
Status	Status of the integration such as enabled or disabled. Note: You can modify this field only after the webhook is generated.
Service	Name of the service that you want to associate with the integration. A service represents a functional outcome like networking, payments, or HR services, that is owned by one team. You might need multiple tool integrations to monitor each technical service and receive events from those tools.
Description	Summary for the integration.
Integration URL	The URL of the home page of the monitoring tool that sends alerts.
Tags	Tags that can help users search for the integration.

Click Generate Webhook.

A webhook URL is generated. Nagios XI sends messages to this secure webhook endpoint. The Script tab is enabled when the webhook is generated.

Note: Click Send sample alert to generate a sample alert from Incident Response and view it in Alerts. This allows you to experiment with automation rules, on-call scheduling, and escalation policies without having to set up the webhook with an external monitoring tool.
Click Save.
Select the Script tab.
The Script tab contains the command definitions. The first command is the service command and the second one is the host command.
Copy the command definitions. You will need them when configuring Nagios XI.

Note: You must use the commands as is but you can change the parameter values as required while configuring definitions for hosts and services.
