What does Opsgenie offer XL Release users?

Opsgenie's XL Release integration triggers Opsgenie notifications as part of your release process. Opsgenie acts as a dispatcher for these notifications 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

  • Integration is enabled and disabled through a plugin in XL Release.
  • When an alert is triggered from a release in XL Release, an alert is created in Opsgenie.
  • When the alert is closed in XL Release, the corresponding alert is closed in Opsgenie.
  • When the alert is snoozed in XL Release, the corresponding alert is snoozed in Opsgenie.
