Learn how to configure your profile, get notifications from Opsgenie and view on-call schedules.
Integrate Opsgenie with Microsoft Azure Event Hubs
For an alert rule on a metric value, when the value of a specified metric crosses a threshold assigned, the alert rule becomes active and sends a notification. For an alert rule on events, a rule can send a notification on every event, or, only when a certain number of events happen.
What does Opsgenie offer Azure Event Hubs users?
Azure Event Hubs can generates alerts based on metrics. Opsgenie acts as a dispatcher for the alerts generated by Azure. Opsgenie determines the right people to notify based on on-call schedules and escalations and notifies via using email, text messages (SMS), phone calls, and Android & iOS push notifications.
Opsgenie Supports the new Azure metric alerts as well:
With the Azure new metric alerts, new fields are added in the new Azure payload. Hence, you can accordingly configure the Opsgenie integration to support them.

Functionality of the integration
When an alert is created in Azure Event Hubs, an alert is created in Opsgenie automatically through the integration.
