Configuring Integration Level Alerts

Nightfall sends alerts in real-time to the channels or platforms you configure. You can configure the following alerts:

• Slack Alerts

• Webhook

• Jira Tickets

• Email

The Nightfall for JIRA integration allows you to configure alerts at the policy level and also at the integration level.

When you configure alert settings at the integration level, the alert settings apply to all the policies, created for the Nightfall for JIRA integration. However, when you configure alert settings specifically for a policy, created in the JIRA integration, the alert settings are applicable only for the specific policy.

This document explains how to configure alerts at the integration level. To learn about how to configure alerts at the policy level, read this document.

Prerequisites

• To use Slack as an alert method, you must first perform the required Slack configurations. You can refer to this document to learn more about how to configure Slack as an Alert platform.

• To use Webhook as an alert method, you must first perform the required Webhook configurations. You can refer to this document to learn more about how to configure Webhook as an Alert platform.

Configure Alerts at the Integration Level

You can configure alerts at the integration level once you have installed the Nightfall for GitHub integration.

To configure alerts at the integration level:

1. Navigate to the Nightfall for Github integration.

2. Scroll down to the Alerting section.

3. Nightfall provides you with the following alert methods.

   • Slack: Enter the name of the Slack channel to which the violation notifications from this integration must be directed and click Save.

   • Email: Enter the Email ID of the recipient to whom the violation notification must be sent and click Save.

   • Webhook: Enter the Webhook URL and HTTP headers and click Save.

   • JIRA: The JIRA alert platform is automatically activated once you install the DLP for JIRA integration. Select the JIRA project, issue type, enter comments, and click Save changes.

When you configure alerts to a Webhook, Nightfall AI sends occasional posts to:

• To validate that the Webhook is properly configured before the policy is saved.

• Periodically, thereafter to ensure that the Webhook is still valid.

The response to the test Webhooks is a 200 status code if successful.

An example of Webhook request is as follows.

{
  "service": "nightfall",
  "test": true,
  "timestamp": "2024-03-07T23:18:39Z"
}

This is part of alert event consumption and can be ignored.

Customize End-User Notification: Enter a custom message to be sent to the end user. This message is sent in an Email. You can modify the default message provided by Nightfall and draft your message. The total character length allowed is 700 characters.
