Flexciton Logstash Output OpsGenie Plugin

This is a plugin for Logstash.

It is fully free and fully open source. The license is Apache 2.0, meaning you are pretty much free to use it however you want in whatever way.

This version is forked from: https://github.com/opsgenie/logstash-output-opsgenie All kudos goes to the original authors.

flexciton-logstash-output-opsgenie improvements:

• Add error handling on network errors. Previously the pipeline in Logstash would simply crash and cause Logstash to go down or stop processing logs completely. Now it will retry certain errors or log a warning and silence the exception.
• Add error handling on bad response from OpsGenie itself. Since the response is logged via parsing to json, if parsing is impossible we would crash the pipeline. Now json parsing errors are caught and logged instead at warning level.
• Fix all tests. Tests were broken since 2017 changes to adjust to new Opsgenie API. Now they pass.

Flexciton Logstash Output OpsGenie plugin is available in RubyGems.org

• Logstash 5.4+

bin/logstash-plugin install flexciton-logstash-output-opsgenie

• Other Versions

bin/plugin install flexciton-logstash-output-opsgenie

• OpsGenie has an integration with Logstash. To use the plugin you need to add a Logstash Integration in OpsGenie and obtain the API Key.

• You may use plugins like Mutate to populate the fields which will be used in flexciton-logstash-output-opsgenie.

  mutate{
    add_field => {
        "opsgenieAction" => "create"
        "alias" => "neo123"
        "description" => "Every alert needs a description"
        "actions" => ["Restart", "AnExampleAction"]
	"tags" => ["OverwriteQuietHours","Critical"]
	"[details][prop1]"=> "val1"
        "[details][prop2]" => "val2"
        "entity" => "An example entity"
        "priority" => "P4"
	"source" => "custom source"
	"user" => "custom user"
	"note" => "alert is created"
        }
    }
    ruby {
 	 code => "event.set('teams', [{'name' => 'Integration'}, {'name' => 'Platform'}])"
    }
}

• Add the following configuration to your configuration file and populate apiKey field with your Logstash Integration API Key

NOTE: despite the integration document in Atlassian shows that api key should be wrapped in quotes ("apiKey") - this is not the case. Use apiKey as shown below please.

output {
	opsgenie {
		apiKey => "logstash_integration_api_key"
	}
}

• Run Logstash.
