    "date": "$DATE",
    "org": {
        "id": "$ORG_ID",

​

Configure your monitor

2. Select one of your monitors and open its edit page. In this example, the monitor’s name was “My Watchdog Monitor”.
3. In the subsection “Configure notifications & automations”, tag your newly created hook with “@webhook-Your-Webhook-Name”. This will tell Datadog to use your webhook integration as a notification destination.

6. If you don’t specify a priority, the incident’s severity will be Critical

​

3. Test Notifications

These steps are important to successfully test your Datadog integration on the All Quiet side.

1. Click on Test notifications at the very bottom of the edit page.
2. Click on Run Test to send out notifications to your newly created All Quiet integration.
3. Finally, don’t forget to Save your integration!

Datadog Alert as All Quiet Incident

You’re done. 🥳 The next steps are merely there to verify if everything’s setup correctly!

Go back to the All Quiet Web App and navigate to the “Incidents” overview. You will see the test incident created by Datadog. Open the details page to see the incident created. If you are missing anything, you can adjust the Alert on Datadog to send the info required and map it against an All Quiet incident in the payload mapping section of your Datadog inbound integration page on All Quiet.
