Integrate Opsgenie with Opsview
What does Opsgenie offer Opsview users?
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.
Functionality of the integration
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.
Add Opsview 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 Opsview and select Add.
Specify who is notified of Opsview alerts using the Responders field. Auto-complete suggestions are provided as you type.
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.
Select Save Integration.

For Opsview v6 and above
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:
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.
For more information about using raw parameters please visit Dynamic Fields document.
