Better Stack
Connect
Connect Better Stack from the terminal. Pass --help for the flags Better Stack accepts.
polylane integration connect --type betterstackGlobal, Uptime, and Telemetry API tokens.
Connect Better Stack so agents can check uptime monitors, investigate incidents, and inspect telemetry sources.
Setup
Better Stack scopes API tokens per product, so the connect flow asks for three:
- Global API token: betterstack.com/settings/global-api-tokens.
- Uptime API token: same page, under the Team-based tokens tab.
- Telemetry API token: Telemetry → Settings → API tokens.
- Paste each token into Polylane. Polylane validates them and connects.
Your tokens are encrypted before they are stored, and the agent never sees them.
Polylane provisions an outgoing webhook in Better Stack so incidents land as alerts and get triaged as they fire.
What agents can do
- List monitors and check up/down status, availability, and response times
- Investigate incidents and their timelines
- Check heartbeats, status pages, and telemetry sources
Disconnecting
Disconnect Better Stack in Polylane, then revoke the API tokens in Better Stack.
