FireHydrant

CatalogScorecards

Summary​

FireHydrant is an incident management platform. You can use FireHydrant to drive insights into values such as:

  • Past incidents
  • Trigger incidents

Setup​

In order to connect Cortex to your FireHydrant instance, you’ll need to create a FireHydrant API Key and add it under Settings → FireHydrant.

caution

If you do not see the Settings page you're looking for in the sidebar, you likely don't have the proper permissions and need to contact your admin.

Incident management​

Discovery​

By default, Cortex will try to "best-guess" the corresponding Service entity in FireHydrant. Cortex first looks up a FireHydrant Service using the name (e.g. My Service), then the service identifier (e.g. my-service). For example, if your service name is “My Service”, then the corresponding Service in FireHydrant should either be “My Service” or "my-service."

Catalog descriptor​

FireHydrant Service​

You can find the service ID value by visiting FireHydrant → Catalog → Services. The URL for the service will contain the ID; for example: https://app.firehydrant.io/catalog/services/<ID>/incidents. If you prefer to use the service slug in the registration instead, you can find it on the right hand side of the service page.
