Blink Ops Destination

Configuring Blink Ops as an alert destination in your Panther Console

Overview

The Blink Ops alert destination is in open beta starting with Panther version 1.108, and is available to all customers. Please share any bug reports and feature requests with your Panther support team.

Destinations are integrations that receive alerts from rules, policies, system health notifications, and rule errors. Panther supports configuring Blink Ops as the destination where you will receive alerts.

Blink Ops supports receiving alerts with a maximum payload size of 5 MB. If an alert is greater than 5 MB size due to a large alert context, Panther will truncate the alert context.
