Integrate Opsgenie with Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling
What does Opsgenie offer Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling users?
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling sends notifications of scale changing events through SNS. Opsgenie acts as a dispatcher for these notifications, determines the right people to notify based on on-call schedules– notifies them 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 Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling, an alert is created in Opsgenie automatically through the integration.
Add Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling Integration in Opsgenie
You can add this integration from your team dashboard
If you're using Opsgenie's Free or Essentials plan, or if you’re using Opsgenie with Jira Service Management's Standard plan, you can only add this integration from your team dashboard as the Integrations page under Settings is not available in your plan.
Adding the integration from your team dashboard will make your team the owner of the integration. This means Opsgenie will assign the alerts received through this integration to your team only.
To do that,
Go to your team’s dashboard from Teams,
Select Integrations, and select Add integration.
Follow the rest of the steps to complete the integration.
Go to Settings > Integrations. Search for Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling and select Add.
Specify who is notified of Auto Scaling alerts using the Responders field. Auto-complete suggestions are provided as you type.
Copy the integration URL which includes Opsgenie endpoint as well as the API key.
Select Save Integration.
Set up Subscription on Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling
2. Add an HTTPS subscription to your topic with the Opsgenie API endpoint using the URL provided from Opsgenie Integration.
Upon successfully configuring SNS subscription to Opsgenie, a confirmation alert is created in Opsgenie:
3. Configure your Auto Scaling group to send notifications to the SNS topic you created.
4. Right after the notifications configuration is saved, Auto Scaling sends a test notification to Opsgenie that creates an alert.
