Overview

Sifflet can update Statuspage components when a monitor fails to reflect data quality issues and give teams a reliable point of reference to know whether or not they can trust their data.

Update Statuspage Components from Monitor Failure

You can use the Sifflet email integration and the Statuspage email automation feature to update Statuspage components. To do so, follow these steps or check out the Statuspage email automation feature documentation page.

Set Up the Integration

1. Head to your Statuspage account and click the Components entry on the left sidebar
2. Look for the component you want to update in case of Sifflet monitor failure
3. Click the Automation link for this component
4. Copy the email address provided by Atlassian for email automation (e.g. component+861a5ed9e79a42e28f6da1157ebe4674@notifications.statuspage.io)
5. Head to your Sifflet application
6. Hover over the Settings entry and click the Collaboration Tools subentry
7. Scroll to the email integration
8. Paste the previously copied email address in the Email addresses field and click the Add button.
9. You can now configure monitors to update Statuspage components.

Configure Monitors to Update Statuspage Components

1. Go to the Monitors page and edit an existing monitor or create a new monitor by clicking the + New monitor button.
2. In the Overview and notifications section, make sure to add the word DOWN in the Monitor name field. This tells Statuspage that the component should be switched to Major Outage whenever a Sifflet monitor notification is issued.
   Note: You can switch your component to Degraded Performance or Partial Outage by appending +partial_outage or +degraded_performance to the email address of the component (e.g. component+861a5ed9e79a42e28f6da1157ebe4674+partial_outage@notifications.statuspage.io). Read more about this on Statuspage email automation documentation page.
3. Click the Save/Update button to save your monitor configuration.
4. Whenever your Sifflet monitor fails, Sifflet sends a notification that updates your Statuspage component.
