# Sensu Go

Get alerts from Sensu Go into Squadcast

Follow the steps below to configure a service so as to push related alert data from Sensu Go onto Squadcast.

Squadcast will then process this information to create incidents for this service as per your preferences.

### Using Sensu Go as an Alert Source

1. Navigate to **Services** -> **Service Overview** -> select or search for your Service. Expand the accordion -> In the Alert Sources section, click **Add**.

2\. Select **Sensu Go.** Copy the displayed **Webhook URL** to [configure](#squadcast-handler-installation) it within **Sensu Go**. Finish by clicking **Add Alert Source** -> **Done.**

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important:**

When an alert source turns Active, it’ll show up under Configured Alert Sources, you can either generate a test alert from the integration or wait for a real-time alert to be generated by the Alert Source. An Alert Source is active if there is a recorded incident via that Alert Source for the Service.
{% endhint %}

#### Squadcast handler installation

If you're using sensuctl 5.13 with Sensu Backend 5.13 or later, you can use the following command to add the asset:

```
sensuctl asset add sensu/sensu-squadcast-handler
```

**Installation from source**

Download the latest version of the sensu-squadcast-handler from releases, or create an executable script by cloning the [sensu-squadcast-handler](https://github.com/SquadcastHub/sensu-squadcast-handler.git) repository. From the local path of the sensu-squadcast-handler repository run the following command:

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important**

For the command mentioned below to work, you would need **Go Programming Language** installed beforehand.
{% endhint %}

```
go build -o /usr/local/bin/sensu-squadcast-handler
```

Create a `squadcast-handler.yaml` file like the following :-

```yaml
type: Handler
api_version: core/v2
metadata:
  name: squadcast
  namespace: default
spec:
  command: sensu-squadcast-handler
  env_vars:
  - SENSU_SQUADCAST_APIURL= <Squadcast Alert Source Url>
  runtime_assets:
  - SquadcastHub/sensu-squadcast-handler
  filters:
  - is_incident 
  timeout: 10
  type: pipe
```

Make sure to replace `<Squadcast Alert Source Url>` with the webhook url you copied from Squadcast.

Then run the following command :-

```
sensuctl create -f squadcast-handler.yaml
```

While creating checks for your client systems make sure to add `squadcast` as a handler. An example check using the squadcast handler is shown below :-

```yaml
api_version: core/v2
type: CheckConfig
metadata:
  namespace: default
  name: health-check
spec:
  command: check-http -u http://localhost:8080/health
  subscriptions:
  - test
  publish: true
  interval: 10
  handlers:
  - squadcast
```

Now whenever an event is triggered in Sensu Go , an incident will be created automatically in Squadcast. Also when an event is resolved in Sensu Go the corresponding incident gets **auto-resolved in Squadcast.**
