Integrate Opsgenie with Catchpoint
What does Opsgenie offer to Catchpoint users?
Catchpoint sends alert notifications to Opsgenie API, with detailed information. Opsgenie acts as a dispatcher for these alerts, determines the right people to notify based on on-call schedules– notifies them using 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 Catchpoint, an alert is also created in Opsgenie automatically through the integration.
When alert notification level is changed for a Catchpoint test, the alert that created in Opsgenie is closed automatically.
Configuring Opsgenie side of the integration
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 Catchpoint and select Add.
Specify who is notified of Catchpoint alerts using the Responders field. Auto-complete suggestions are provided as you type.
Copy the integration API Key to use in the Catchpoint configuration.
Select Save Integration.
Configuration in Catchpoint
Login to the Catchpoint Portal and go to Settings > API.
2. In the Alerts API section, paste the Opsgenie Catchpoint URL with API key: https://api.opsgenie.com/v1/json/catchpoint?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY
3. Select Template as Format then click Add New.
4. Select JSON as the format of the template.
5. Copy template file contents from here
6. Save the template and save the API configuration.
Now manage your Catchpoint alerts at Opsgenie and leverage its full alerting functionality.
