Incident & ITSM

Send FireHydrant alerts to on-call with CallHeim.

Incident management — incident created and updated webhooks. CallHeim maps the payload, collapses repeats within five minutes, and pages whoever is on call for the service it belongs to.

firehydrantFireHydrantalso accepts: fire-hydrant

Setting it up

Create an Integration in CallHeim and choose FireHydrant from the Catalog. You get an ingest URL for that integration — paste it into FireHydrant’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 FireHydrant’s webhook format, built and tested against sample payloads.

After it arrives

What CallHeim does with FireHydrant alerts.

Incidents raised in another system can open an incident here for paging and escalation. Repeats carrying that system’s own correlation identifier collapse onto one incident while they keep arriving within five minutes. CallHeim does not sync status back to the source system, so a later change there is not reflected here automatically.

CallHeim maps FireHydrant’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 →
