Learn how to configure your profile, get notifications from Opsgenie and view on-call schedules.
Integrate Opsgenie with Microsoft Azure Service Health
Azure Service Health alerts you and your teams via targeted and flexible notifications. Opsgenie is an alert and notification management solution that is highly complementary to Azure Service Health's alerting mechanism.
What does Opsgenie offer Azure Service Health users?
Use Opsgenie’s Azure Service Health Integration to forward Azure Service Health alerts to Opsgenie. Opsgenie determines the right people to notify based on on-call schedules- using email, text messages (SMS), phone calls, iOS & Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until the alert is acknowledged or closed.
Functionality of the integration
When a Service Health alert is created in Azure, an alert is also created in Opsgenie.
Add Azure Service Health Integration in 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.
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 Azure and select Add.
Specify who is notified of Azure Service Health alerts using the Responders field. Autocomplete suggestions will be provided as you type.
Copy the URL.
Click Save Integration.
