What does Opsgenie offer Uptime users?

Use Opsgenie's Uptime Integration to forward Uptime alerts to Opsgenie. Opsgenie acts as a dispatcher for these alerts and 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 alert is created in Uptime, an alert is created in Opsgenie automatically through the integration.
  • When the alert is cleared on Uptime, the related alert is closed in Opsgenie.
