BigPanda Integration

BigPanda is an “Autonomous Digital Operations Platform” that intelligently automates IT incidents. The value proposition is to use machine learning to analyze and consolidate a high volume of alerts before the IT Ops personnel respond, allowing the team to handle more incidents and respond more quickly.

What does Opsgenie offer BigPanda users?

Use Opsgenie’s BigPanda Integration to forward BigPanda incidents to Opsgenie. Opsgenie determines the right people to notify based on on-call schedules– notifies via email, text messages (SMS), phone calls, iOS & Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until the alert is acknowledged or closed.

Functionality of the integration

  • When an incident is fired by BigPanda, an alert is created in Opsgenie automatically through the integration.
  • When an incident is resolved in BigPanda, the alert is closed in Opsgenie.
