Google Stackdriver Integration

Stackdriver is natively integrated with Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services, and popular open source packages. Stackdriver provides a wide variety of metrics, dashboards, alerting, log management, reporting, and tracing capabilities.

What does Opsgenie offer to Google Stackdriver users?

Opsgenie has a webhook integration with Google Stackdriver. Using the integration, Google Stackdriver sends incidents to Opsgenie API with detailed information. Opsgenie acts as a dispatcher for Google Stackdriver 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 the state of a notification is open in Google Stackdriver, an alert is also created in Opsgenie automatically through the integration.
• When the state of a notification is close in Google Stackdriver, the related alert is closed automatically.
• When the state of a notification is acknowledge in Google Stackdriver, the related alert is acknowledged automatically.
