How to Integrate

In our example we are forwarding a NinjaRMM alert of a print spooler being down to Enterprise Alert. Details about the alert will be sent immediately to the Enterprise Alert to quickly notify users of the problem.

Integration Steps

To start this integration, we setup a VM on the Azure network and then installed the Agent provided by NinjaRMM.
Immediately we started to see the server metrics. We are using the preconfigured Print Spooler policy to trigger alerts.
First, we need to create the REST API event source within Enterprise Alert. Details on how to create the needed URL can be found here.
Next, we need to register this within NinjaRMM. using the provided documentation from NinjaRMM. https://resources.ninjarmm.com/API/Ninja+RMM+Public+API+v2.0.5+Webhooks.pdf
Once we stopped the Print Spooler, we received the incoming event within Enterprise Alert.
All event information will be sent to Enterprise Alert. We now need to filter through the events and only trigger alert notifications to our on-call staff on critical alerts. Here is an example of the policy that we created.
