Dear all,
We need to try to automate as much things we can and we were thinking of a scenario during our evaluation of opsgenie.
Question 1 :
Is there a way to create automatically an incident when an certain amount of alert occurs ?
Question 2:
When an incident is created is there a way to create automatically an issue in Jira which is linked to Opsgenie incident ?
Thanks for advise
regards
Hi @serge calderara !
Question 1:
There isn't a way to create an incident in Opsgenie based on multiple alerts. However, you can use Incident Rules to automatically create an incident in Opsgenie when a specific alert is created.
i.e. if alert is created with message containing "Host XXX down", create an incident.
We do have a feature request to be able to create an incident in Opsgenie based on the creation of multiple alerts.
Question 2:
There isn't a way to have a jira issue automatically created from the incident itself, since the automated jira integration is based on alerts in Opsgenie.
However, each incident will create responder alert(s) for each team that is a responder on the incident. So you could setup the Jira integration to create issues in Jira from one of the responder alerts.
Each responder alert will have an extra property field..
incident-alert-type: Responder
e.g.
So in the Jira integration, you can set it up to create issues in Jira that contain that field.
Right now integrations in Opsgenie pretty much all are based around alerts. I believe there will be more functionality between integrations with incidents in Opsgenie in the future.
Let me know if you have anymore questions!
based on your reply :
I could find the proper place to setup creating issue in integration ?
Do you have screenshot.
So far for simplicity we have only define an email integration
thanks for help

It sounds like you may be on a plan that doesn't support automatic incident creation via incident rules.
Are you on a JSM plan? If so - you would need to be on jsmPremium plan in order to use incident rules to automate incident creation from alerts.

@serge calderara Yeah you can still be on a trial, but it depends which plan you are trialing. You can see which JSM plan you are on via admin.atlassian.com -> click on your site -> manage subscriptions.

hello @Samir , I switch my JSM plan to Premium as you mention earlier in order to get access to incident rules, but still I could not find this menu in my opsgenie,
Any idea where should I find it ?

Hi @serge calderara - incident rules are configured under a particular service.
You add a service from the "Services" tab under a particular team, and then within that service you can create incident rules to automate incident creation when a particular alert goes to that team:
e.g.

hello @Samir , got it
Do I need to go through this rule as well if I want to create automatically an Issue in Jira or do I need to add the Jira integration to opsgenie for that ?
Idea is to create automatically Jira issue from either Alert or Incident
thanks for advise

Creating jira issues from alerts would be done via the Jira integration.

hello @Samir so if I sumarize :
Can you confirm ?
I can see they are 2 jira inegration, Service Desk or Sofware, which one should better be used ?

Yes confirmed.
Use Jira Software integration if you are integrating with a Jira Software project, use a Jira Service Management integration if you are integrating with a Jira Service Management project.
Jira Software and Jira Service Management are 2 different products. They are similar, but designed for different types of projects.
