Using Sample Code

These samples are meant to provide a helpful starting point for your custom integration. Though you may be able to copy some of the samples and use them without modifications, your system administrators must review and test all scripts and methods before using them, as per good practices.

API Fortress is a platform for the entire API lifecycle, from design to launch. A platform that monitors the performance of your APIs, validates the accuracy of the entire payload, and provides real-time insights to all stakeholders. Without any coding, and entirely automated. Achieve true test-driven development.

Before You Integrate

  • Ensure that you have Manager Access to a paid API Fortress Account.

  • Set up a BigPanda Account.

Install the Integration

Administrators can install the integration by following the on-screen instructions in BigPanda.

Deactivate the Integration in BigPanda

If you want to stop sending data to BigPanda but don’t want to delete your integration, you can temporarily deactivate it.

To deactivate an integration:

  1. In BigPanda, navigate to the Integrations tab and select the desired integration from the list. This will open integration details on the right side of the window.
  2. At the top of the integration details, click the Active/Inactive toggle next to the application name to change the status of the integration.

🚧

Alert Resolution for Inactive Integrations

Any active alerts belonging to an inactive integration must be manually resolved or they will stay in the system until the auto-resolve window is reached.

Uninstall the Integration

Deleting an integration requires changes to both the integrated system and BigPanda. You must uninstall the integration on the integrated system and then delete the integration from BigPanda.

🚧

When replacing an existing integration with a new tool or system, we recommend configuring the new integration first to ensure no data is lost.

Stop Sending Data to BigPanda

On the integrated system, disable any settings that send data to BigPanda.

Manually resolve any open alerts sent from the integration to remove the associated incidents from your incident feed. These incidents will not automatically resolve without an ok status from the original sending integration.

Delete the Integration in BigPanda

  1. In BigPanda, navigate to the Integrations tab and select the desired integration from the list.
  2. In the integration details on the right of the page, click the trash icon, then confirm you want to delete the integration. The integration will then be removed immediately.
