Ekara integration

Forward Ekara alerts to ilert via webhook to create incidents and enrich timelines with synthetic monitoring context.

Connecting Ekara to ilert helps you turn synthetic checks into actionable alerts and incidents. By sending Ekara alerts to ilert, you keep responders informed about availability and performance events – improving visibility, accelerating root cause analysis, and reducing MTTR.

In ilert: Create a Ekara alert source

Go to Alerting → Alert sources and click Create new alert source.
Search for Ekara, click its tile, and click Next.
Give your alert source a name, optionally assign teams, and click Next.
Choose who gets notified: select Use existing escalation policy and pick a policy, or Generate new escalation policy to start with a basic one that notifies you first. Click Next.
Pick an existing escalation policy, or generate a basic one without leaving the wizard.
Select Default grouping and click Continue setup. It groups events by the alert key the integration sets; the other grouping options are easier to judge once events are arriving.
The next page shows more settings, such as notification priority and alert templates. Click Finish setup for now; you can change them later.
On the final page, ilert shows the integration key and URL for this alert source. You will need them later in this guide.
