To integrate Amazon SES and HipChat with your monitoring system, reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating Amazon SES and HipChat and how that can support your monitoring system.
Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) is a flexible and scalable email service that allows developers to send or receive mail from within any application, enabling you to interact with customers at scale. It supports several email use cases, including marketing, transactional, or mass email communications. You can configure your email service in minutes using the Amazon SES console, APIs, or SMTP.
With Amazon SES, you can send trigger-based messages from your application directly to your customers, such as purchase confirmations or password resets. SES comes with customized content and email templates, such as special offers and newsletters, to help you promote your products and services. You can also send bulk messages, including notifications and announcements, to large email lists.
With Amazon Cloudwatch, you can monitor email statistics, including email deliveries and bounces, to help you measure each email campaign's effectiveness. Additional insights, like email open or click-through rates, measure how engaged your customers are in your email communications.
Using the reputation dashboard, which includes account performance insights and anti-spam feedback, you can maximize your email deliverability.
With Metricfire, you can turbocharge your Simple Email Service monitoring services. By integrating Amazon CloudWatch with the Metricfire platform, you can display your metrics on aesthetically pleasing dashboards. MetricFire's advanced filtering lets you choose only the data views you want to see and discard the rest. You can also set up simple rules to discard data you no longer keep, plus receive alerts via email or Slack when your email service is doing something it shouldn't.
HipChat was an on-premises instant messaging tool once offered by Atlassian, but now discontinued. Slack has since replaced it.
Like Slack, HipChat enabled teams to work together by making it easier to share ideas, updates, code, and files in real-time. You could integrate HipChat with many tools and applications, including Atlassian tools, such as Confluence or Jira, letting your users receive notifications from those tools in HipChat rooms.
For those legacy users who might still use Hipchat, there is a wide range of MetricFire's Hosted Graphite features that still work with Hipchat.
Hosted Graphite's HipChat integration lets you manage your alerts directly from your HipChat channel. Your team can see unusual patterns as they happen and keep the rest of your team informed. You can view your active and healthy Hosted Graphite alerts in HipChat, and jump directly to a Hosted Graphite dashboard straight from HipChat.
When an alert is triggered, we post a notification to your HipChat room. All Hosted Graphite alerts include a thumbnail of a graph, a link to the full-size graph, the metric name related to the alert, and the conditions that caused it to fire. This card view lets us pack lots of information into a small space, making the notification as useful as possible.
Additionally, you can:
Plus, if you click the "glance" inside HipChat, the sidebar changes to a filterable list of all your alerts, showing which ones are unhealthy and what the alert conditions are.

MetricFire is a full-scale platform that offers infrastructure, system, and application monitoring using a suite of open-source monitoring tools. The platform allows you to use either Prometheus- or Graphite-as-a-Service and have your metrics displayed on aesthetically-pleasing Grafana dashboards.
MetricFire offers its users a complete ecosystem of end-to-end infrastructure monitoring, which is made up of three of the most popular open-source monitoring software services: Prometheus, Graphite, and Grafana. As well, plugins for a number of other open-source projects are preconfigured, such as StatsD, collectd, and Kubernetes. You get all these within a hosted environment as a single product. Not only does MetricFire fit well into the infrastructure monitoring use-case, such as network monitoring and server monitoring, we also do application monitoring and business intelligence.
Through this hosted environment, MetricFire works to boost the unique features of the open source projects to give you more functionality than the original products. Below are some of the MetricFire features at a glance:
Cloud and on Premise Monitoring
Hosted Prometheus
Hosted Graphite
Grafana Dashboards
Whether to use Prometheus or Graphite is a great question. We’ve looked deeper into this decision in our blog article, Prometheus or Graphite. While Prometheus is a newer software that has a multidimensional data structure, Graphite is robust and sufficient. The key thing to remember is that Hosted Graphite by MetricFire is more than just Graphite. Our Hosted Graphite product actually adds data dimensionality and better data storage.
The benefits of MetricFire are:
No vendor lock-ins
MetricFire allows you to request for a full export at any time, because you will always own the data you input. You get all the benefits of an open-source tool with the stability and security of a SaaS tool.
Easy Budgeting
A structured pricing model allows you to save time and work within your budget. The predictability and transparent pricing allows you to keep your costs in check and plan for the future.
Transparency
MetricFire works transparently on all aspects of their operations of SaaS system monitoring. You can see their own internal system metrics at their public status page.
Robust Support
Technical support is provided by engineers for engineers, so you can expect detailed and relevant answers to your queries.
“We now have over ten times the amount of metrics we started with, and on different accounts. One of the great things about MetricFire is that scaling to support this increase has been hassle-free, requiring no additional work on our side.”
“Building and managing an on-premise installation at this scale would require a lot of engineer time, especially in the first year...we use this engineering time to work on initiatives closer to our core business”
“There’s complete transparency with everything MetricFire do which means we can accurately predict what we’ll be spending and comfortably keep within our budget.”
"Every time I have a question, I get an answer from support after just a couple of hours. Their technical knowledge is excellent.”
