Use Compass's Opsview Integration to forward Opsview alerts to Compass. Compass determines the right people to notify based on on-call schedules, notifies via email, text messages (SMS), phone calls, and iOS and Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until the alert is acknowledged or closed.

How does the integration work?

Set up the integration

Opsview is an API integration. Setting it up involves the following steps:

Add an Opsview integration

Bidirectional integrations aren’t supported in the Standard plan. All the other integrations are supported at a team level in Standard.

If you're using the Standard plan in Compass, you can add this integration only from your team’s operations page. Adding an integration from your team’s operations page makes your team the owner of the integration. This means Compass only assigns the alerts received through this integration to your team.

To add an Opsview integration in Compass, complete the following steps:

  1. Go to your team’s operations page.

  2. On the left navigation panel, select Integrations and then Add integration.

  3. Run a search and select “Opsview”.

  4. On the next screen, enter a name for the integration.

  5. Optional: Select a team in Assignee team if you want a specific team to receive alerts from the integration.

  6. Select Continue.
    The integration is saved at this point.

  7. Expand the Steps to configure the integration section and copy the command that includes the API key. It's in the format: nagios2jsm -apiKey=[API_KEY].
    You will use this key while configuring the integration in Opsview later.

  8. Select Turn on integration.
    The rules you create for the integration will work only if you turn on the integration.

Configure the golang-executable to use a proxy for sending HTTP requests by defining the environment variable HTTP_PROXY=http://host:port

Configure the integration in Opsview

To configure the integration of Opsview with Compass, complete the following steps:

  1. In Opsview Manager, go to Settings > Notification Methods.

  2. Define a new notification method named jsm.

  3. Paste the following as the command for jsm:nagios2jsm -apiKey=d9a3b025-eb6b-4c6f-a043-046f330c00eb -jsmApiUrl=https://api.atlassian.com.

  4. Select Submit Changes.

note

In case of Opsview v6 and above, when creating a new Notification Method, Opsview does not allow using slash character ("/") in commands. Because of this you should remove "https://" part of the Compass API URL.

In case of Opsview v6 and above, when creating a new Notification Method, Opsview does not allow using slash character ("/") in commands. Because of this you should remove "https://" part of the Compass API URL.

The nagios2jsm executable accepts the following flags:

To send additional custom arguments, add them after the flags as: customArgName1 customArgValue1 customArgName2 customArgValue2. Parse custom arguments by adding {{_payload.customArgName}} to wherever is needed on the input fields.
