Kapacitor Integration

Kapacitor is a native data processing engine in the TICK Stack. It can process both stream and batch data from InfluxDB. It lets you plug in your own custom logic or user-defined functions to process alerts with dynamic thresholds, match metrics for patterns, compute statistical anomalies and perform specific actions based on these alerts like dynamic load rebalancing.

What does Opsgenie offer Kapacitor users?

Use Opsgenie Kapacitor integration to send Kapacitor events to Opsgenie with detailed information. Opsgenie acts as a dispatcher for Kapacitor events, determines the right people to notify based on on-call schedules– notifies via email, text messages (SMS), phone calls, and iOS & Android push notifications, and escalating alerts until the alert is acknowledged or closed.

Functionality of the integration

  • When an event is created on Kapacitor, an alert is created in Opsgenie automatically through the integration.
