No "Next on-call member of a schedule" option in Escalation Policies

James Halpin February 22, 2022

I am attempting to set up OpsGenie with JSM for the first time. Currently, when a ticket (of particular conditions) is created in JSM, an alert is created in OpsGenie. Now, I created on-call rotations in the specified Team: Primary Dev, Secondary Dev, and PM. I want to set up escalation policies to notify the primary dev first, then the secondary dev if the primary dev does not ack the alert. However, when I configure the escalation policy, I do not see the "Next on-call member of a schedule" option under Edit > Escalation Rules.

This option is defined in the documentation and walkthrough video, but I don't see it on my screen.

Hi @James Halpin ,

Looks like your plan is restricted to the Notify Next On-call Users rule, which is outlined at the top of this page: https://support.atlassian.com/opsgenie/docs/how-do-escalations-work-in-opsgenie/

The workaround would be to break the primary and secondary into their own schedules, and have the escalation notify the on-call users of the primary schedule first, then the on-call users of the secondary schedule if no action is taken on the alert:

If your primary schedule is configured, and the secondary schedule is similar, schedules can be easily cloned:

Following the schedule being cloned / renamed, you can edit the cloned schedule's rotation, and rearrange the participant order:

Great, thanks for the help!

I was actually assuming I would have to do something like this; I just had the Primary and Secondary as two rotations on the same schedule. I will break them apart.
