The Catchpoint integration allows you to correlate Catchpoint alerts into high-level incidents in BigPanda and see problems with your applications alongside critical problems in the rest of your production stack.
The Alerts API feature configuration within Catchpoint allows you to add a BigPanda URL endpoint. This prompts Catchpoint to forward all relevant information to BigPanda. BigPanda then processes and correlates the alert data from Catchpoint to create and maintain up-to-date incidents in BigPanda.
