# BigPanda

## Overview{% #overview %}

BigPanda is an alert aggregation tool.

Integrate Datadog with BigPanda to:

- Process and correlate the alert data from Datadog
- Create and maintain up-to-date incidents in BigPanda

## Setup{% #setup %}

### Installation{% #installation %}

The BigPanda integration is installed using the [integration tile](https://app.datadoghq.com/integrations/bigpanda) on the Datadog site.

### Configuration{% #configuration %}

1. In your BigPanda account, go to the Integrations page and select New Integration.
1. Click *Datadog* –> *Add Integration*, then create the App Key.
1. The provided Webhook URL contains the necessary Access Token and App Key.
1. Navigate to the BigPanda tile on Datadog and click on *New Account*
1. Add a **BigPanda Account Name** of your choice. This will be the name of the notification handle.
1. Paste the **Access Token** and **App Key** in the respective fields.
1. Select an **Endpoint Type**. You can choose a region for the account or set a custom URL.
1. Click *Save*.

**Note**:

- The maximum number of BigPanda accounts currently supported is 5.
- To Enable the **Route All Monitor Events** option and automatically send all monitor events to BigPanda, contact [Datadog support](https://docs.datadoghq.com/help/). By default, only monitor events containing **@bigpanda-** are sent.

### Usage{% #usage %}

BigPanda creates incidents as it begins to receive events from Datadog. Incidents maintain relevant information such as the name of the monitor that was triggered and the condition causing the alert. Incidents can move from Active to Resolved as monitors undergo transition changes. To stop Datadog from sending alerts to BigPanda, remove the desired account from the integration tile.
