Integrate Opsgenie with ServerGuard24

Overview

What does the integration offer?

ServerGuard24 notifies by email, SMS, and HTTP call if a problem is detected. With the ServerGuard24 integration, Opsgenie acts as a dispatcher for these 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 they are acknowledged or closed.

How does the integration work?

When an alert is created on ServerGuard24, an alert is created on Opsgenie automatically through the integration. When an alert is closed on ServerGuard24, the related alert is also closed on Opsgenie automatically through the integration.

Set up the integration

ServerGuard24 is an API-based integration. Setting it up involves the following steps:

Add a ServerGuard24 integration in Opsgenie
Configure the integration in ServerGuard24

Add a ServerGuard24 integration

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 add this integration from your team dashboard only. The Integrations page under Settings is not available in your plan.

Go to Teams and select your team.
Select Integrations on the left navigation and then select Add integration.

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. Follow the rest of the steps in this section to set up the integration.

To add a ServerGuard24 integration in Opsgenie:

Go to Settings > Integrations.
Select Add integration.
Run a search and select “ServerGuard24”.

Select Continue.
The integration is saved at this point.
Expand the Steps to configure the integration section and copy the integration URL which includes Opsgenie endpoint as well as the API key.
