# Opsgenie

Elementary's Opsgenie integration enables sending alerts when data issues happen.

It is recommended to create [alert rules](/cloud/features/alerts-and-incidents/alert-rules) to filter and select the alerts that will create incidents in Opsgenei.

## Enabling Opsgenie alerts

### Create an Opsgenie API key

To create an `Opsgenie API key`, go to `Opsgenie` and follow the following steps:

* Create or select an `Opsgenie` team - this team will be responsible for alerts generated by Elementary.
* On the selected team go `Integrations` tab and press on `Add Integration`:
  * Select `API` and press `Add`
  * Select a name for the  `API integration` - “Elementary” for example
  * Make sure `Create` and `update access` are selected
  * Press on `Save Integration`
  * Copy the `API key` and provide it to Elementary UI.

### Add API key to an environment

1. Go to the `Environments` page on the sidebar.

2. Select an environment and click connect on the `Connect incident management tool` card (second card), and select `Opsgenie`.

3. Fill the `API key` and select the `API URL` and save the integration:

4. `Opsgenie` will now be available as a destination on the [`alert rules`](/cloud/features/alerts-and-incidents/alert-rules) page. You can add rules to create Opsgenie incidents out of alerts who match your rule.
