This section describes how you can use the "Opsgenie" SyncPack to automatically trigger, acknowledge, and resolve Skylar One events and Opsgenie alerts between your Opsgenie and Skylar One systems. The integration is bi-directional and synchronizes Skylar One and Opsgenie.

This SyncPack uses the "Opsgenie Incident Integration" PowerPack.

What Can I Do with this SyncPack?

The "Opsgenie" SyncPack lets you automatically trigger, acknowledge, and resolve Skylar One events and Opsgenie alerts between Opsgenie and Skylar One. The integration is bidirectional and synchronizes Skylar One and Opsgenie.

You can configure this SyncPack to perform the following integrations:

  • Create an alert in Opsgenie from a Skylar One event.
  • Collects on-call details from Opsgenie and add it to the notes of the corresponding Skylar One event.
  • Update a synced Opsgenie alert when an event is acknowledged in Skylar One, including closing an alert in Opsgenie that was resolved by a corresponding Skylar One event.
  • Collect resolved alert data from Opsgenie and clear the corresponding Skylar One event.
  • Collect event details from Skylar One and create a maintenance object in Opsgenie.
  • Connect to an input Opsgenie Heartbeat URL, and if the connection fails, create an event and send the event to Skylar One.

For more information about how to configure these applications, see Configuring Applications for the Opsgenie SyncPack.
