Want your monitoring alerts delivered straight to your pocket? The Pushover integration lets you receive instant notifications on your phone, tablet, or desktop. Configure it in your integrations dashboard.

​
Pre-requisites

Before you can start receiving Pushover notifications from Phare, you’ll need two things:

  1. A Pushover account (they have a one-time purchase model, no subscriptions!)
  2. A Pushover application set up to connect with Phare

You can find your user key in the Pushover dashboard, and create a new application via the link at the bottom of that page. Feel free to customize your app however you like, or use these ready-made settings:

​
Configuration

Setting up the integration is simple, just connect the dots between Phare and Pushover by adding your user key and the API key from your newly created Pushover application.

​
Usage

With everything connected, you can choose Pushover as a notification channel when creating or editing alert rules. One of the coolest features? You can set different priority levels for different types of alerts, making that 3AM wake-up call reserved for truly critical issues.

If you choose the Emergency priority level, you’ll need to specify two additional parameters:

  • retry: How often (in seconds) the alert should repeat
  • expire: How long (in seconds) the alert should continue trying before giving up

These parameters help ensure critical alerts don’t go unnoticed, and you can learn more about them in the Pushover API documentation.
