notify by opsgenie

A dead simple Opsgenie notification script for Check_MK Flexible Notifications

Installation

Put the script somewhere the nagios/monitoring user can reach. Ensure the script is executable.
If you run OMD you drop this script in ${OMD_ROOT}/local/share/check_mk/notifications/

git clone https://github.com/epleterte/notify-by-opsgenie.git
cp notify-by-opsgenie/opsgenie /omd/sites/<site>/local/share/check_mk/notifications/
chown <omd user>:<omd group> /omd/sites/<site>/local/share/check_mk/notifications/opsgenie

Next, add the user that will run the notification script to the opsgenie group. With OMD this is the site user/name:

gpasswd -a <omd user> opsgenie

The Nagios (OMD) user needs to be able to write to the log. We need the log to be group writeable:

chmod g+w /var/log/opsgenie/nagios2opsgenie.log

# if the file does not exist yet, you can do this
( cd /var/log/opsgenie && touch nagios2opsgenie.log && chown opsgenie:opsgenie nagios2opsgenie.log && chmod 664 nagios2opsgenie.log )

Usage

Create a new notification rule in WATO. Select Opsgenie as alert method from the dropdown menu.

The script has a few options. If none are specified whatever is set in /etc/opsgenie/conf/opsgenie-integration.conf will be used.

$ ./opsgenie -h
Usage: ./opsgenie [-h|-r|-t|-T]
  -h   Print Usage
  -r   Set recipient(s)
  -t   Set teams
  -T   Set tags

You can specify these as extra parameters in the WATO field to override i.e. recipients for given notification rules, i.e. -r team_database
