Opsview Integration
Opsview is a Nagios-based IT monitoring software. It offers network and server monitoring, enhanced by reporting and performance monitoring.
What does Opsgenie offer Opsview users?
Use Opsgenie's Opsview Integration to forward Opsview alerts to Opsgenie. Opsgenie 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 a host/service alert is created in Opsview, an alert is created in Opsgenie automatically through the integration.
- When the alert is closed by Opsview, the corresponding alert in Opsgenie is automatically closed.
- When the alert is acknowledged in Opsview, the corresponding alert in Opsgenie will automatically be acked.
Add Opsview Integration in Opsgenie
- Please create an Opsgenie account if you haven't done so already.
- Go to Opsgenie's Opsview Integration page.
For Free and Essentials plans, you can only add the integrations from the Team Dashboards, please use the alternative instructions given below to add this integration.
- Specify who is notified of Opsview alerts using the Teams field. Auto-complete suggestions are provided as you type.
An alternative for Step 2) and Step 3) is to add the integration from the Team Dashboard of the team which will own the integration. To add an integration directly to a team, navigate to the Team Dashboard and open Integrations tab. Click Add Integration and select the integration that you would like to add.
- Copy the command that includes the API key. It's in the format: nagios2opsgenie -apiKey=[API_KEY]. This key is used in the Opsview configuration later.
- Click Save Integration.
Opsgenie API Url
If you get an error message like "ValidationException[Key format is not valid!]" after sending the request to Opsgenie, then changing "opsgenieApiUrl" to "https://api.opsgenie.com ("https://api.eu.opsgenie.com" for EU users) can fix the problem.
