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
Go to Settings → Integrations. Search for Azure and select Add.
Under the Free and Essentials plans, the tabs under the Team dashboard are limited to Main, Integrations, Members, and Activity Stream.
2. Specify who is notified of Microsoft Azure alerts using the Responders field. Auto-complete suggestions are provided as you type.
Did you know that you can also add this integration from your team dashboard?
If you want your team to be the owner of this integration, add it from your team dashboard. Opsgenie will assign the alerts received through this integration to your team only.
To do that;
Go to Teams,
Find your team and select it to go to your team dashboard,
From your team navigation, select Integrations,
Select Add integration.
3. Copy the integration URL.
4. Click 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.
