With this integration, BigPanda will capture and correlate alert rules when they are triggered or cleared.
The integration works by configuring the Webhooks integration feature in ThousandEyes. A BigPanda URL endpoint is added, which prompts ThousandEyes to forward all relevant alert information to BigPanda. BigPanda then processes and correlates the alert data from ThousandEyes to create and maintain up-to-date incidents in BigPanda.
The Open Integration Manager is available for use with ThousandEyes. For more information, see the Open Integration Manager documentation.
Key Features
- Uses the ThousandEyes Webhooks integration feature to forward networking alerts to BigPanda.

Deactivate the Integration
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 inbound integration:
- 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.
- 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

- Select an Alert Rule currently sending to the BigPanda webhook, click to expand, and then select the Notifications tab.
- Under the WEBHOOKS section, click the x next to the BigPanda webhook to remove it from that alert.
- Repeat for other Alert Rules sent to the BigPanda webhook.
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 from BigPanda
