Integrate Opsgenie with Graylog (Plugin)
What does Opsgenie offer Graylog users?
Opsgenie has a specific alert plugin for Graylog. Use this plugin for Graylog to send stream alerts to Opsgenie with detailed information. 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 the alert is acknowledged or closed.
This article explains integrating Graylog with a plugin, which is a standard procedure for Graylog v2 and earlier versions. If you’re using a newer version go to Integrate Opsgenie with Graylog v3 and above.
Functionality of the integration
When an alert is created in Graylog, an alert is also created in Opsgenie automatically through the integration.
Installing the Plugin
Download the appropriate version of plugin according to your Graylog version.
Copy the .jar file into your plugins folder, as explained here.
Restart graylog-server.
Add Graylog integration in Opsgenie
