Get started with Opsgenie as an admin
Start building your teams, integrate your tools and create on-call schedules.
Use Opsgenie’s Opsview Integration to forward Opsview alerts to Opsgenie. Opsgenie 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.
When a host/service alert is created in Opsview, an alert is created in Opsgenie automatically through the integration.
When the alert is closed by Opsview, the corresponding alert in Opsgenie is automatically closed.
When the alert is acknowledged in Opsview, the corresponding alert in Opsgenie will automatically be acked.
Go to Opsgenie's Opsview Integration page.
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 Opsview alerts using the Teams field. Auto-complete suggestions are provided as you type.
An alternative for Step 1) and Step 2) is to add the integration from the Team Dashboard of the team which will own the integration. To add an integration directly to a team, navigate to the Team Dashboard and open Integrations tab. Click Add Integration and select the integration that you would like to add.
3. Copy the command that includes the API key. It's in the format: nagios2opsgenie -apiKey=[API_KEY]. This key is used in the Opsview configuration later.
4. Click Save Integration.

When creating a new Notification Method, Opsview does not allow using slash character ("/") in commands. Because of this you should remove "https://" part of the Opsgenie API URL.
Additionally, the nagios2opsgenie executable accepts the following flags:
Flag |
|
---|---|
apiKey | nagios2opsgenie uses this key to authenticate to Opsgenie. API key is also used to identify the right integration configuration that should be used to process alerts. |
teams | Teams field is used to specify which teams are notified for the Opsview alerts. |
tags | Tags field is used to specify the tags of the alert that created in Opsgenie. |
logPath | Specifies the full path of the log file. (Default value is /var/log/opsgenie/nagios2opsgenie.log) |
logLevel | Possible values are debug, info, warning, error. Default value is warning. |
opsgenieApiUrl | If you're using Opsgenie from another domain(eg. EU, sandbox), update this configuration. |
To send additional custom arguments, add them after the flags as: customArgName1 customArgValue1 customArgName2 customArgValue2
Parse custom arguments by adding {{_payload.customArgName}} to wherever is needed on the input fields.
