PagerDuty is an incident management platform used to help teams quickly detect and fix infrastructure problems. It manages automatic notifications when a problem occurs, escalates the issue where necessary, and schedules on-call resources.
With its SaaS platform, PagerDuty provides businesses, developers, and administrators a range of powerful tools to help them quickly manage client-impacting issues. By arming your business with the insight to proactively manage events that may affect customers across your IT infrastructure, PagerDuty helps you to maintain customer experience and satisfaction. It also allows you to sustain your brand reputation and revenue streams.
PagerDuty comes with hundreds of native integration points to ensure that the right data gets in the hands of the right people in real-time. By taking advantage of machine-learning, PagerDuty automatically handles resource scheduling and issue escalations. You can customize PagerDuty notifications to use a combination of phone calls, SMS, push notifications, and emails depending on the issue severity, time of day, or defined support hours.
These features are why PagerDuty can be such a useful companion to your MetricFire applications such as Hosted Graphite. For example, you might use Hosted Graphite to receive alerts about system performance, code bugs, or other issues. If you use PagerDuty as well, you would find it of immense use when you wanted automatic delegating to the people in your organization. One way would be to use PagerDuty to create alerts that it automatically assigns to specific people on your team.
You can create a PagerDuty service on MetricFire's Hosted Graphite that triggers once an alert criterion reaches a specified threshold. Once triggered, the service delegates tasks to specific individuals, leaving you free to focus on other important job functions.
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.
