Integrations & API
StacksAtlas is designed to be a collaborative citizen of your IT ecosystem. While it functions as a standalone appliance, it provides several extensible touchpoints for automation and external monitoring.
SMTP (Email Alerts)
The core notification engine can be configured to send instant alerts for critical network events (e.g., Device Offline, IP Drift).
- Custom SMTP Support: Connect to any internal or cloud-based mail server (Office 365, Gmail, Mandrill).
- Threshold Management: Configure global or per-device frequency limits to prevent "alert fatigue."
REST API (In Development)
The StacksAtlas background service exposes a local REST API used by the dashboard. Enterprise users can leverage this API for custom integrations.
- Endpoint Access: Retrieve real-time device status, latency logs, and inventory data via
GETrequests. - Authentication: Secured via JWT (JSON Web Tokens) with adjustable expiration policies.
- Use Case: Export device lists to external Asset Management systems (CMDB) or trigger custom scripts on network changes.
System Logging (Syslog)
We are currently researching native Syslog sink support for v1.1.0 to allow StacksAtlas events to be ingested by standard SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) platforms like Splunk or Elastic.
Webhooks
Future updates will include outbound Webhook support, allowing StacksAtlas to push alerts directly to platforms like Slack, Microsoft Teams, or PagerDuty without requiring intermediate email servers.
