Overview
If you use SolarWinds Loggly for log management, you can seamlessly stream ThousandEyes alerts into it through a custom webhook integration.
With this setup, your ThousandEyes alerts will flow directly into your SolarWinds Loggly using HTTP/S Event Endpoint, helping you centralize monitoring and streamline troubleshooting.
The best part? It’s a quick four-step process. Let’s review!
Step 1 – Get your SolarWinds Loggly customer token
Before we tell ThousandEyes where to send alerts, we need to get the Loggly Customer Token. This token is what will authorize the connection to your SolarWinds Loggly account.
Here’s how to get it:
• Log in to your SolarWinds Loggly account.
• Navigate to Logs → Source Setup → Customer Tokens.
• Copy your existing token or create a new one.

Step 2 – Create a custom webhook in ThousandEyes
With your token in hand, it’s time to configure ThousandEyes to send alerts to your SolarWinds Loggly account.
Perform the following in your ThousandEyes account:
• Go to Manage → Integrations.
• Click Add New Integration → Custom Webhook.
Use the following table and image snapshot as a guide for filling out the custom webhook configuration fields:

Once you’ve configured the webhook settings, test the integration by clicking the Test button. If you receive a 200 OK response, congratulations — your webhook is active and you can Save the webhook configuration.

*Note: If you receive anything other than a 200 OK response, check your configuration details to verify accuracy and try once more. If you still receive a different response, contact our ThousandEyes Support team for assistance. More details for the configuration are available here: ThousandEyes - Custom Webhooks, SolarWinds Loggly - HTTP/S Event Endpoint |
Step 3 – Assign the ThousandEyes webhook to alert rules
With your webhook configured & tested, it’s time to assign alerts that will be then further sent to SolarWinds Loggly. For that we use Alert Rules:
• Go to Manage → Alert Rules.
• Choose to either edit an existing rule or create a new one.
• Scroll down to the Notifications section.
• In the Integrations Section, choose the custom webhook created in Step 2.
• Click Save Changes.
Step 4 – Validate Alerts in SolarWinds Loggly
With our ThousandEyes work complete, it’s time to verify that alerts are passed through to SolarWinds Loggly. Once triggered, an alert should appear in Loggly within seconds.
To validate:
• Open your Loggly Log Explore.
• Check your incoming logs for ThousandEyes alerts triggering in line with the rules you configured in Step 3.
