HubSpot Slack integration has become essential for the 238,000 companies on HubSpot and the 42 million users active on Slack each day. However, the native connector offers only limited functionality. Notifications often get buried, CRM updates remain locked inside HubSpot, and reporting still relies on manual exports. Worse, it lacks workflow customization and bidirectional updates leaving teams without the visibility and flexibility they need. This guide shows how to move past those limits.

We're launching a ServiceNow integration in early January that brings Obkio's network monitoring capabilities directly into your IT service management workflow.

When you integrate Grafana-managed alert rules with ServiceNow, you can automatically capture and process alerts in ServiceNow’s events table—a common entry point for incident workflows, escalations, and ticket creation. And if you configure ServiceNow to receive Grafana Alerting payloads using ServiceNow’s scripted REST API, you can parse Grafana’s JSON alert payloads and insert them into a ServiceNow table.

Engineering organizations depend on clear team ownership to maintain reliable services and move quickly. But as codebases expand and teams shift, answering basic questions—Who owns this service? Who should be paged in an incident? Are teams meeting operational standards?—becomes harder.

Our Incident IQ integration just got better. Meet the Outage Announcement Bar, a simple way to surface live outage details inside Incident IQ. This new feature makes it even easier for users, support teams, and administrators to stay aware of service disruptions the moment they happen. This update builds on our existing Incident IQ integration, which already syncs outage reports from your StatusGator status page into Incident IQ.

InfluxDB is the go-to database for developers working with high-velocity time series data for use cases like application performance monitoring and real-time analytics. But InfluxDB exhibits its true power when combined with the right tools and integrations. The tools covered in this blog post can help at all stages of your workflow, from data collection to visualization and analysis, so you can get the most out of your InfluxDB deployment.

Modern SRE and IT operations run on two truths: you must see problems the way users do, and you must respond fast. With the new ilert and Ekara integration, you can turn Ekara’s powerful synthetic and real-user insights into actionable alerts and incidents in ilert – routed to the right on-call engineer, enriched with context, and communicated to stakeholders via status pages. The result: fewer surprises, faster recoveries, and happier users.
