• To Enable the Route All Monitor Events option and automatically send all monitor events to BigPanda, contact Datadog support. By default, only monitor events containing @bigpanda- are sent.

Usage

BigPanda creates incidents as it begins to receive events from Datadog. Incidents maintain relevant information such as the name of the monitor that was triggered and the condition causing the alert. Incidents can move from Active to Resolved as monitors undergo transition changes. To stop Datadog from sending alerts to BigPanda, remove the desired account from the integration tile.
