SiteScope monitors more than 100 different target types for critical health and performance characteristics. You can also extend your monitoring environment by creating your own monitor types and customizing existing monitors. The following guide will walk you through this integration.
In VictorOps
From the VictorOps web portal, select Integrations. From the resulting list of integration options, select the HP SiteScope integration option.
Copy the Service Email to the clipboard. Be sure to replace the “$routing_key” section with the actual routing key you intend to use.
