OpsGenie Notifications

OpsGenie notifications allow for alerts to be sent to an OpsGenie account, usually as part of an organisations standard call out and alerting system.

EndPoint Monitor allows for multiple integrations with OpsGenie allowing for complete flexibility of how alerts and callouts are configured for each group of checks.
