Metrics & monitoring
Send Chronosphere alerts to on-call with CallHeim.
Observability platform — Prometheus-compatible notifier webhook. CallHeim maps the payload, collapses repeats within five minutes, and pages whoever is on call for the service it belongs to.
Alertmanager groups
A group is split into one alert per member. An incident that holds several alerts stays open while any of them is still firing.
Setting it up
Create an Integration in CallHeim and choose Chronosphere from the Catalog. You get an ingest URL for that integration — paste it into Chronosphere’s webhook configuration. The snippet beside this is the shape it expects, with {{WEBHOOK_URL}} replaced by your real URL.
If you enable request signing on this integration, CallHeim requires a valid HMAC-SHA256 signature in the X-ItOnCall-Signature or X-Hub-Signature-256 header on every request to it. Without a signing secret, the ingest URL itself is the credential.
CallHeim includes a payload mapping for Chronosphere’s webhook format, built and tested against sample payloads.

What CallHeim does with Chronosphere alerts.
Threshold alerts flap at the boundary. Where a source sends a recovery event CallHeim recognises, a series that changes state four times inside ten minutes is grouped instead of re-paging, and the underlying incident stays open and visible.
CallHeim maps Chronosphere’s own severity to a P1–P5 level and shows a separate, explainable severity suggestion — a published keyword ruleset plus your own resolved-incident history — that a person can apply. How severity is suggested →
Each alert source is bound to a service, and the service’s escalation policy (or its team’s) sets who is paged. Alerting and escalation →
CallHeim closes an incident on a recovery event only for sources whose recovery payload it recognises (or that you map). For the others, a person resolves the incident.
The thresholds it passes through
- Dedup window
- 300s
- Flap threshold
- 4 transitions / 600s
- Title correlation
- similarity ≥ 0.6, same source and service
- Group window default
- 600s
All defaults are published. You can turn title correlation off or change its threshold, and set the window on your own noise rules; the dedup window and the flap settings are fixed. How alerts are processed →
