Run using Opsgenie Notification

This tutorial will show you how to integrate Monika with Opsgenie to get your Monika notifications through the Opsgenie dashboard.

Setup Opsgenie

To use Opsgenie, you need to create an account on the Opsgenie website. After you have created your account, head over to the Teams menu in the Dashboard and create a Team.

Now that you have created a team, go to the Integrations menu and click Add Integration. Then, select the API integration. You will be redirected to the API Key page. After that, copy the API Key and save it somewhere safe as we are going to need it later.

Once that’s done, it’s time to configure Monika to integrate with Opsgenie.

Integrate Monika with Opsgenie

Now that we have our API Key from Opsgenie, it’s time to create a Monika configuration called monika.yml

1 notifications:
2   - id: unique-id-opsgenie
3     type: opsgenie
4     data:
5       geniekey: <YOUR_API_KEY>
6 probes:
7   - id: "1"
8     name: Localhost
9     description: Check status
10     interval: 3
11     requests:
12       - method: GET
13         url: https://httpbin.org/delay/2500
14     alerts:
15       - query: response.time > 2000
16         message: Response time more than 2 seconds
17       - query: response.status != 200
18         message: Status not 2xx

Let’s take a look at the configuration above:

• The Pushover notification channel will use the API Token and User Key you created from the previous step.
• It will probe https://httpbin.org/delay/2500, with the method GET
• It will alert you if the response status code is not 200, or the response time is longer than two seconds

Once that’s done, run Monika with the configuration above with the command monika -c monika.yml

Congratulations! You have successfully integrated Monika with Opsgenie! Note that Opsgenie integration is only available from the Monika version 1.8.0++
