Hi all.  
I heard that Watcher will be discontinued in the future. Is that right? Watcher at the moment is the only way (and not easy I must say) to integrate Atlassian OPSGenie alerting management with Elastic but it is working for me.  
With alerting there is no way to have a webhook with OPSGenie that works (as they said).  
So because of that I'd like to know if watcher will still be available or not?

Cheers

Hi @alfredo.deluca ,

I believe that Alerting integration with the OPSGenie is already on the roadmap, feel free to track/upvote this integration here: [OpsGenie action type · Issue #56403 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/56403)

Best,  
Oleg
