Integrate Opsgenie with Scalyr

What does Opsgenie offer Scalyr users?

Opsgenie has a specific API integration with Scalyr. Scalyr sends alert notification messages to Opsgenie API, with detailed information. Opsgenie acts as a dispatcher for Scalyr alerts, 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 an alert is created in Scalyr, an alert is created in Opsgenie.
When an alert is closed in the Scalyr, the alert is closed in Opsgenie.

Add Scalyr integration in Opsgenie
