Alert destinations

Preview

This feature is in Public Preview. Contact your Databricks representative to request access.

Whenever an alert triggers, it sends a blob of related data (called the alert template) to its designated alert destinations. Destinations use this blob of data to send emails, Slack messages, or custom webhooks.

You must be a Databricks admin to manage alert destinations. Destinations are available to all users.

The default destination for any alert is the email address of the user who created it. If you create an alert and want to be notified by email, you don’t need to set up a new alert destination. Instead, toggle the switch beside your email address on the alert setup screen.

Create an alert destination

1. Click the icon at the bottom of the sidebar and select Settings.

2. Click the Alert Destinations tab.

3. Click + New Alert Destination.

4. Select a destination type:

   • Email
     • Slack
     • WebHook
     • Mattermost
     • ChatWork
     • PagerDuty
     • Google Hangouts Chat
   

5. Configure the destination based on the type.

6. Click Create.

PagerDuty destination

Step 1: Obtain the PagerDuty integration key from your PagerDuty console

Select Services > Service Details > Integrations.

If you don’t have an API v2 Integration yet, you need to create it.

Step 2: Configure destination

Configure the required fields Name and Integration Key.

Slack destination

Step 1: Obtain the Slack webhook URL

Create a webhook URL at Incoming WebHooks.

Step 2: Configure destination

Set the name, channel, and Slack webhook URL. If the Webhook target is a channel in the channel field prefix the channel name with # (for example, #marketing). If the destination is a direct message to a user, prefix it with @ (for example, @smartguy).
