Integrate Opsgenie with Looker
Looker allows users querying their data to extract practically useful insights. When configured, Looker sends out a notification when certain criteria is met in a Look (a saved query). Extracted insights trigger alert creation in Opsgenie so the right person can take action in a timely manner.
What does Opsgenie offer to Looker users?
Use Opsgenie’s Looker integration to create an alert based on query results in Looker. Opsgenie adds an alerting layer top of the Looker, determines the right people to notify based on on-call schedules– notifies via email, text messages (SMS), phone calls, and iOS & Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until the alert is acknowledged or closed.
Functionality of the integration
When a scheduled query is run by Looker, Looker creates an alert in Opsgenie. Looker can be configured to skip alert creation when the query returns something/nothing, and results changed/not changed since last time.
Add Looker integration in Opsgenie
