Learn how to configure your profile, get notifications from Opsgenie and view on-call schedules.
Integrate Opsgenie with Microsoft Azure
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 users?
Azure generates alerts based on metrics and events. 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 metrics 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, an alert is created in Opsgenie automatically through the integration.
Add Azure 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 Microsoft Azure alerts using the Responders field. Auto-complete suggestions are provided as you type.
Copy the integration URL.
Select Save Integration.
Configuration in Azure
Note: Azure webhook alerts are only available via the Azure Preview Portal. If using the classic version, please use the Email integration.
Log in to Azure portal.
Select Alerts (Classic) under the "MONITORING" section. The text and icon may vary slightly for different resources. If Alerts (Classic) is not easily found, they might be found under "Alerts" or "Alert Rules".
3. Select the Add metric alert (classic) command and fill in the fields.
4. Paste the URL from Opsgenie Azure integration into the Webhook field and save the rule.
