To integrate circleci and OpsGenie with your monitoring system, please reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating circleci and OpsGenie and how that can support your monitoring system.
CircleCI is a continuous integration and delivery platform (CI/CD) that you can install in a private cloud or data centers.
After you authorize a software repository, such as GitHub or Bitbucket, as a project on circleci.com, every code change you make triggers automated tests in a clean container or VM. After the tests are complete, CircleCI notifies you via email of successes and failures.
You can configure CircleCI to deploy code to various environments, including AWS CodeDeploy, AWS EC2 Container Service (ECS), AWS S3, Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Microsoft Azure, and Heroku. You can deploy other cloud services using SSH or by installing the service's API client with your job configuration.
System administrators can gather metrics for monitoring their CircleCI installation for various environment variables, including installed Nomad clients and Docker metrics. Metrics collected by CircleCI include basic information, such as CPU or memory usage, and more advanced metrics, such as the number of executed builds or the number of internal errors. By recording and analyzing metrics, you can quickly detect incidents and abnormal behavior, retroactively understand infrastructure-wide issues, and scale computing resources dynamically.
With MetricFire, you can turbocharge your CircleCI monitoring to a new level. One useful method of monitoring the changes in your codebase is by adding annotations whenever your tests run. For example, by adding CircleCI annotations to your MetricFire graphs using a webhook, you can keep track of which passed tests have affected your system performance (negatively or positively). This method can help you prioritize what to fix first, as a highly negative impact should have top priority.
OpsGenie is an incident management system that helps teams engage the right people to manage and resolve an incident in the shortest possible time.
OpsGenie is designed to streamline those crucial incident monitoring processes by alerting the right people on your team to take action and address an issue as soon as possible through its on-call management and escalation features. It comes with highly customizable features and sophisticated tools, all designed to work with different DevOps workflows.
Unlike regular incident monitoring platforms, OpsGenie intuitively forecasts potential issues based on aggregated metrics. This tool also automatically determines the people or teams best equipped to resolve the issues detected through proper action mapping.
You can optimize your team's collaboration and communication channels by integrating OpsGenie with over 200 ticketing, monitoring, and chat tools, including Slack, Jira, and Amazon CloudWatch. Plus, common and repetitive actions can be quickly executed by using OpsGenie actions. For example, in response to an alert, OpsGenie can start an Amazon EC2 instance.
Being a service-aware incident management platform, OpsGenie also proactively alerts stakeholders about any service disruptions or outages. With its ability to identify, manage and categorize critical incidents promptly, OpsGenie is a favorite incident management system for businesses with always-on services. OpsGenie tracks everything related to alerts and incidents, allowing you to monitor your team's performance in acknowledging and resolving incidents.
Integrating your OpsGenie platform with your MetricFire platform is a great way to ensure that any incidents identified by MetricFire are actioned by the right person in your DevOps team as soon as possible.
All you do is create an OpsGenie channel in your MetricFire alerts panel. Then, as MetricFire aggregates and monitors metrics from all your computer systems, you'll feel confident that any incidents will be quickly addressed and fixed by the right people in your DevOps team.

MetricFire is a full-scale platform that provides infrastructure, system, and application monitoring using a suite of open-source monitoring tools. We enable you to use Hosted Graphite and aesthetic custom dashboards to visualize your metrics so you can understand what is happening.
MetricFire offers users a complete ecosystem of end-to-end infrastructure monitoring, comprised of popular open-source monitoring software services: Graphite and popular dashboards. Plugins for many other open-source projects are preconfigured, such as StatsD, collectd, and Kubernetes. You get all these within a hosted environment as a single product. Not only does MetricFire fit well into the infrastructure monitoring use-case, such as network monitoring and server monitoring, but we also do application monitoring and business intelligence.
Through this hosted environment, MetricFire boosts the unique features of open-source projects to give you more functionality than the original products. Below are some of the MetricFire features at a glance:
The key thing to remember is that Hosted Graphite by MetricFire is more than just Graphite. Our Hosted Graphite product actually adds data dimensionality and better data storage.
The benefits of MetricFire are:
“We now have over ten times the amount of metrics we started with, and on different accounts. One of the great things about MetricFire is that scaling to support this increase has been hassle-free, requiring no additional work on our side.”
“Building and managing an on-premise installation at this scale would require a lot of engineer time, especially in the first year...we use this engineering time to work on initiatives closer to our core business”
“There’s complete transparency with everything MetricFire do which means we can accurately predict what we’ll be spending and comfortably keep within our budget.”
"Every time I have a question, I get an answer from support after just a couple of hours. Their technical knowledge is excellent.”
MetricFire integrates seamlessly with AWS to provide you with the best visibility for your... Continue Reading
