Webhook Connection for HipChat

HipChat webhook connections allow you to send Sumo Logic alert results to HipChat rooms. For information on how to build your webhook payload refer to HipChat Webhooks in the HipChat API documentation.

Once you set up the webhook connection, you'll have the option to use it in a Scheduled Search or Monitor.

note

Webhook connections rely on HTTP endpoints that tell Sumo Logic where to send data. You can set up any number of connections.
