CI/CD & deployment

Send JetBrains TeamCity alerts to on-call with CallHeim.

Build webhook (tcWebHooks) (failure/running/success). CallHeim maps the payload, collapses repeats within five minutes, and pages whoever is on call for the service it belongs to.

teamcityJetBrainsalso accepts: team-city, jetbrains-teamcity

Setting it up

Install tcWebHooks and add a JSON webhook to the build/project for build events.

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

After it arrives

What CallHeim does with JetBrains TeamCity alerts.

A failing pipeline is not always a page. An Orchestration Rule can route build failures to a lower severity or a different service, and so to that service’s escalation policy, before they page.

CallHeim maps JetBrains TeamCity’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 →
