JSM Premium and Opsgenie revolutionize incident management

Our client, a prominent European online gaming enterprise, faced a major challenge when they had to manage a large number of alert emails from multiple monitoring tools, namely Prometheus, Splunk, Apica, and more. This influx of alerts hindered their ability to efficiently sift through and prioritize them. This problem also affected their ability to effectively process critical information, resulting in prolonged incident resolution times. The absence of comprehensive reporting, combined with difficulties in tracking team availability and centralizing incident response, exacerbated the situation, highlighting the need for a more streamlined ITSM solution.

To enhance incident response efficiency, we integrated over seven monitoring tools with Opsgenie, incident management system in JSM DC via Python-based custom built OEC (Opsgenie Edge Connector). This integration enabled Opsgenie to consolidate alerts from multiple sources, streamlining workflows and reducing incident resolution times. Additionally, responder assignment was automated using on-call schedules, ensuring round-the-clock coverage. Opsgenie's reporting capabilities facilitated actionable and comprehensive analysis of incident metrics, fostering accountability and driving continuous improvement. Two years later, we further optimized our solution by migrating it from JSM DC to JSM Cloud Premium, enhancing its efficiency and scalability.

The implementation of Opsgenie alerting and incident management solution revolutionized the approach to handling incidents, resulting in a more efficient and collaborative environment. By centralizing incident response procedures, the client witnessed:

• A significant reduction in incident frequency and volume, resulting from a more proactive approach to addressing issues.
• A noticeable improvement in resolving issues swiftly and effectively, resulting in improved service reliability.
• A significant boost in efficiency, streamlining workflows and optimizing resource allocation.

This also fostered greater team collaboration, ensuring a more coordinated response to critical incidents with Opsgenie’s escalation mechanisms.
