Microsoft Teams Destination

Configuring Microsoft Teams as an alert destination in your Panther Console

Overview

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

The MS Teams Destination requires a Microsoft Teams Webhook URL. When an alert is forwarded to an MS Teams Destination, it sends a message to the specified Webhook URL.

How to set up Microsoft Teams alert destinations in Panther

Configure the Webhook URL in Microsoft Teams

The Microsoft Teams Destination is configured via a custom connector with a Webhook URL. First, ensure that your team has the option to add Incoming Webhooks as a connector.

1. Log in to your Microsoft Teams application.

2. Navigate to Apps. Click Connectors, then click Incoming Webhook.

3. Click Add to a team.

4. Select a team to add the Incoming Webhook connector to, then click Setup a connector.

5. Click Configure next to Incoming Webhook. Configure the name, description, and settings.

6. Enter a name for the Incoming Webhook integration, and optionally upload an image. Click Create.

7. On the next page, a Webhook URL is displayed on the screen. Copy the URL and store it in a secure location, as you will need it in the next steps.

8. Click Done.
