Notify next on-call user Ignores Schedule Overrides

In Opsgenie, we had an instance where an escalation policy notifies the current and next on-call user, but the team has noticed that the alert will always default to the next on-call user in the original schedule and if the original schedule has been overridden so that the next on-call user is different, the alert will go to the next on-call user in the original schedule.

Has anyone else noticed this behavior, and is there anything I can do to make sure it doesn't happen again?

I've just confirmed with Atlassian support that this is a known issue.

Hi @Sam ,

Glad you were able to connect with someone else on our team. We'll be sure to reach out if there's an update on this issue in the future.

As for a workaround - since the override only respects the current on-call rule - you could clone the schedule, and change the escalation rule from notify next user in schedule A >> notify on-call user in schedule B (or the cloned schedule).

For example:

sched comm 1.jpg

Then offset this new schedule's rotation by one user to essentially account for the "next" on-call user:

sched comm 2.jpg

 

And finally adjust the escalation rule from notifying the next on-call user in Schedule A >> notify on-call user in Schedule B. Final configuration might look something like this:

sched comm 3.jpg

 

Hope this helps! Let us know if you have any questions or issues with this configuration.

Is there an open support ticket for this known issue?

The ticket for reference is OGS-95Escalate to "next/previous user in Rotation" does not respect overrides.

I've added you as a +1 @Lance Milleson to the ticket. Since our feature requests are not publicly facing, we'll reach out if/when there are any updates on it.

Hi Nick,

We're facing the same issue so I'd appreciate an additional +1 added for me please.

Thanks,

Ray
