Automatically Acknowledge and Close Alert using Python

[Anil Sharma]

Hi Guys

I am going to develop a small program using Python. This program will do the following:

• GUI having User Name and Password
• When User enter the User Name and Password. The Program will Log-In to Ops-Genie
• Check Every 1 minute that any Open Alert exists. If Open Alert exists then Mark this Alert as Acknowledged.

Anyone please guide me How I will do this.

Thanks

Hi @Anil Sharma - as far as developing the web application, I can't offer much guidance there. But in regard to closing and acknowledging alerts in Opsgenie from Python, you can leverage our Alert API to acknowledge and close alerts from a python script. 

Here is the documentation for the 2 requests...

Close Alert API Request - https://docs.opsgenie.com/docs/alert-api#close-alert

Acknowledge Alert API Request - https://docs.opsgenie.com/docs/alert-api#acknowledge-alert

We have found using the "requests" library in Python as a good option for making requests to our API.  

Hope that helps!

Thanks,

Samir
