What does Opsgenie offer AlertSite UXM users?

Opsgenie has a webhook integration with AlertSite UXM. Use the integration to send AlertSite UXM incidents to Opsgenie's API with detailed information. Opsgenie acts as a dispatcher for AlertSite UXM alerts, determines the right people to notify based on on-call schedules– notifies via email, text messages (SMS), phone calls and iPhone & Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until the alert is acknowledged or closed.

Functionality of the integration

  • When an availability or performance alert is created in AlertSite UXM, an alert is created in Opsgenie automatically through the integration.
