Integrate Opsgenie with Graylog v3 and above
Overview
What does the integration offer?
Opsgenie acts as a dispatcher for Graylog alerts, 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 they’re acknowledged or closed.
How does the integration work?
When an alert is created in Graylog, an alert is also created in Opsgenie automatically through the integration.
Set up the integration
Graylog is an API-based integration. Setting it up involves the following steps:
Add a Graylog integration in Opsgenie
