Integrate Opsgenie with Amazon Route 53 Health Check

What does Opsgenie Opsgenie offer Amazon Route 53 Health Check users?

Use Opsgenie Amazon Route 53 Health Check Integration to forward Amazon Route 53 Health Check alerts to Opsgenie. Opsgenie determines the right people to notify based on on-call schedules– notifies via email, text messages (SMS), phone calls and iOS & Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until the alert is acknowledged or closed.

Functionality of the integration

When an alert is created in Amazon Route 53 Health Check, an alert is created in Opsgenie automatically through the integration.

Add Amazon Route 53 Health Check Integration to 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.
