Is there a way to open a designated slack channel to a critical alert?

Adi Kuperman April 27, 2023

Whenever a P1 alert is triggered I want to create a new slack channel with the current on-call, open a Jira ticket with a link to the ticket and the status of the alert

Thanks @John M!

One last issue I didn't manage to figure our is how to create an alert from slack with P1?

when I create the alert with the following command:

/genie alert [alert_name] for [on call team]

It creates the alert with P3.

 

Where should I define the priority?

It looks like there is no way to define the priority on alert creation, but you can update it after the alert it created:

Hi @Adi Kuperman ,

I would recommend using a Jira integration to automatically create Jira issues from P1 alerts:

New slack channels can't be created automatically, though we do have a feature request for that. However, if you create an incident from the alert:

you can then manually create a Slack channel from the associated incident:

I'm trying to create a Jira ticket with Jira integration, but inside issue creation rule I don't see all mandatory fields that exist for this Issue type, that means it can't really create the ticket,

Is there a way to fix it?

@Adi Kuperman ,

If fields have been made required in Jira, they should show up on the Opsgenie side if they are correctly configured in Jira. In this example, I made a few fields required, including a custom field (test number field) which shows up in Opsgenie:

If this is not happening, I would recommend reaching out to Jira support to have them review your Jira configuration.
