Inbound Applications

Inbound applications are tools that monitor various IT devices/services for any alerts. These include on-premises and SaaS-based monitoring tools, log management systems, and project management applications.

Under Inbound Applications, you can add and integrate various inbound applications that are used in your IT environment to collect alerts. These alerts can be managed from the Alerts module.

If you have already integrated monitoring tools (such as OpManager, Applications Manager, or Site24x7), their alerts are pushed to ServiceDesk Plus Cloud, retaining the existing behavior. For tools that are not directly integrated but added in Inbound Applications, the alerts are routed to the Alerts module via AlarmsOne.  
The Alerts module will remain idle if inbound application is not configured.

To add an application,

If your application is not listed, select Custom API Integration to add it. Applications added this way can send alerts to ServiceDesk Plus Cloud via webhook only. After you add the application, a webhook URL will be generated.  Learn more.
