Integrate Opsgenie with Amazon RDS
Amazon RDS (Relational Database Service) provides cost-efficient, resizeable capacity for an industry-standard relational database and manages common database administration tasks.
What does Opsgenie offer Amazon RDS users?
Amazon RDS sends notifications of database events through SNS. Opsgenie acts as a dispatcher for these notifications, determines the right people to notify based on on-call schedules– notifies them using email, text messages (SMS), phone calls and iPhone & Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until the alert is acknowledged or closed. Amazon RDS sends DB notifications like shutdown or backup etc., and Opsgenie ensures the right people are notified.
Functionality of the integration
When an alert is created in Amazon RDS, an alert is created in Opsgenie automatically through the integration.
Add Amazon RDS Integration in Opsgenie
Go to Settings → Integrations. Search for Amazon RDS and select Add.
Under the Free and Essentials plans, the tabs under the Team dashboard are limited to Main, Integrations, Members, and Activity Stream.
2. Specify who is notified of RDS alerts using the Responders field. Auto-complete suggestions are provided as you type.
Did you know that you can also add this integration from your team dashboard?
If you want your team to be the owner of this integration, add it from your team dashboard. Opsgenie will assign the alerts received through this integration to your team only.
To do that;
Go to Teams,
Find your team and select it to go to your team dashboard,
From your team navigation, select Integrations,
Select Add integration.
3. Copy the integration URL which includes Opsgenie endpoint as well as the API key.
4. Click Save Integration.
Set up Subscription on Amazon RDS
2. Add an HTTPS subscription to your topic with the Opsgenie API endpoint by using the URL provided from Opsgenie Integration.
Upon successfully configuring the SNS subscription to Opsgenie, a confirmation alert is created on Opsgenie:
3. Create an Event Subscription for the RDS that sends to the topic previously created.
