Initial Setup & Integrations

Setting up StackPilot involves connecting your existing development and monitoring tools to enable AI-powered incident response.

Prerequisites

Before setting up StackPilot, ensure you have:

• Admin access to your GitHub repository
• Access to your monitoring tools (PagerDuty, Sentry, Datadog, etc.)
• Slack workspace admin permissions (for notifications)

Step 1: Connect GitHub

StackPilot needs access to your repository to analyze code changes and generate pull requests:

1. Navigate to Connections in your team workspace
2. Click Connect GitHub
3. Authorize StackPilot with the necessary repository permissions:
   • Read access to code and commit history
   • Write access to create pull requests
   • Read access to deployment information

Step 2: Connect Monitoring Tools

PagerDuty Integration

Connect PagerDuty to automatically trigger StackPilot when incidents occur:

# StackPilot will automatically join incident Slack channels
# and begin analysis when PagerDuty fires an alert

Sentry Integration

Connect Sentry for error tracking and stack trace analysis:

• Provides detailed error context and stack traces
• Correlates errors with specific code commits
• Enables automatic error pattern recognition

Datadog Integration

Connect Datadog for comprehensive monitoring data:

• Log aggregation and analysis
• Performance metrics and alerts
• Infrastructure monitoring context

Step 3: Configure Project Details

Add your technology stack information to help StackPilot understand your codebase:

1. Go to Project Details in your workspace
2. Select your technology stack (Node.js, Python, Java, etc.)
3. Add any specific framework details (React, Django, Spring Boot, etc.)
4. Configure deployment information and environment details

Step 4: Verify Setup

Once connected, StackPilot will:

• Monitor for incoming alerts from your configured tools
• Automatically analyze incidents and correlate with code changes
• Begin building your team's incident response patterns

You're now ready to let StackPilot help resolve your next incident!
