For example, when AWS CloudWatch detects a server crash, OpsGenie can auto-create Jira tickets with logs, post incident updates to Confluence postmortems, and sync resolution status with Bitbucket deployments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PagerDuty supports 700+ tools<\/strong>, including Splunk and ServiceNow.
