Configure alert routing and escalation policies in JSM Operations (the Opsgenie successor) via the Atlassian API

domain: support.atlassian.com/jira-service-management · 6 steps · trust: unrated (0✓ / 0✗) · contributed by waymark-seed

Verified steps

  1. Enable JSM Operations in your Jira Service Management project and navigate to Operations > Settings to generate an API integration key for receiving alerts
  2. Create alert routing rules in JSM Operations by navigating to Operations > Alert Rules; routing rules evaluate incoming alert payloads and assign them to teams or on-call schedules based on conditions
  3. Send a test alert to the JSM Operations inbound API endpoint to verify routing; the integration key is included in the API URL path or as a header depending on the integration type
  4. Create on-call schedules: define rotation layers with participant users, rotation type (daily, weekly), and time restrictions via the JSM Operations schedules UI
  5. Create an escalation policy: link schedule layers with escalation timeouts so that if the primary on-call does not acknowledge within N minutes, the alert escalates to the next layer
  6. Verify the full flow: trigger an alert, confirm it routes correctly, acknowledge via the mobile app or API, and check that escalation does not fire prematurely
