Archiving false alerts?

Occasionally we’ll see false alarms in PagerDuty due to an upstream issue coming from Splunk or New Relic. These are alerts that fired due to testing, maintenance, or some other event that we don’t want to “count” as real production incidents. I don’t see an ability in the tool to archive/hide/etc. these events so that they don’t clutter up our reporting & analytics.  Anyone else have a solution or approach to manage these?

How do I add a custom field when sending events with the PagerDuty Events API?

I want to create a custom field and add it to events I create with the events API: https://support.pagerduty.com/main/docs/custom-fields-on-incidents. I'm not using orchestration.I'm using the events API and I see no option for custom fields: https://developer.pagerduty.com/api-reference/368ae3d938c9e-send-an-event-to-pager-dutyI want to use this custom field to add info to the PD incidents when they are generated for users to see so it can't happen after the incident is create from the event.If I have to make multiple API calls to create an event, get the incident that the event generated, then update the incident with a custom field it will have no utility for me. Is this how this is suppose to work? SO post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79051228/how-do-i-add-a-custom-field-when-sending-events-with-the-pagerduty-events-api

Error when subscribing to iCal

Hi, when trying to subscribe to one Pager Duty schedule, from Confluence, I’m getting the error: “Specified calendar does not exist. Possible problems: Check that the Calendar URL you provided exists and you have the correct permissions to access it.”I can’t find any settings which may have impacted this.

Active API Token Reporting.

Hello Pagerduty Community,I’m looking for a way to generate a list of all active API keys so I can correlate it with audit logs we have in our SIEM showing when the last usage of the key was. Is there a way to generate a regular report of this data or interface with the API to get this data? We have quite a few enabled keys in our environment that we likely don’t need and I would love to get a notification when an API key hasn’t been used for X amount of days and is still enabled in Pagerduty. Thanks in advance! Gavin

For accounts who authenticate directly to PagerDuty, is it possible to reset account passwords via the API?

I’ve looked through the API docs and I wasn’t able to find anything related to user lifecycle.  While PagerDuty supports SCIM (and we’re exploring this) as well as SSO auth (also something we’re looking to configure) I’d sort of think that if there’s an endpoint to create users, kill existing login sessions, and remove users that there might also be an API to reset a password.  Am I just missing this, or is there no way to reset account passwords via the API?

Show On Call User in AboutCard on Backstage

I’m using the pagerduty plugin in backstage and would like to add a section in the AboutCard for entities that just shows the person who is currently on call. I’ve tried using the PagerDutyEntitySmallCard, but it’s still a bit too big for me. Is there a way I could perhaps directly call the PagerDuty Api and get this information to give to the AboutCard? Or is there an easier way to go about this?

backstage plugin example request (as I'm facing issues)

Hello!Below is what I’m i’m being faced with, however if there’s simply a link to any example app configs to make sure I’m not doing anything daft, then I’m happy to start there.I’m presently trying to get the plugin working on a local test I have set up in the hopes we can use it on our production system. I’ve followed the guides in the documentation, going down the events API v2 route however I’m getting the following errors[1] 2024-09-12T13:08:40.054Z pagerduty warn No PagerDuty accounts configuration found in config file. Reverting to legacy configuration. [1] 2024-09-12T13:08:40.054Z pagerduty warn No PagerDuty API token found in config file. Trying OAuth token instead... Which then goes on to fail as I’ve not set things up as per the legacy method. This is what I have in the app config (and also the local as this is where I’m running it from):pagerDuty: oauth: clientId: ${PD_CLIENT_ID} clientSecret: ${PD_CLIENT_SECRET} subDomain: ${PD_ACCOUNT_SUBDOMAIN} region: ${PD

Implementing complete PD configuration via Terraform

In the configuration as code space, I’m building infra structure as code and configuration that will manage and control our config in PD (as much as possible).  The main driver is to manage the configuration of this critical piece of operations more securely and without the human-in-the-loop ClickOps via the PD portal.I’m running into trouble using the PagerDuty Terraform provider when you use it to create multiple  PD resources (users, services, schedules,etc) in bulk (i.e. using for-each in the terraform resource)We get failures back from the PD provider along the lines of:│ Error: Provider produced inconsistent result after apply││ When applying changes to│ pagerduty_user.service_users["<redacted>@<email>"], provider│ "provider[\"registry.terraform.io/pagerduty/pagerduty\"]" produced an│ unexpected new value: Root object was present, but now absent.││ This is a bug in the provider, which should be reported in the provider's│ own issue tracker.Question is - has anyone exp

Direct link to specific team oncall schedule

For groups who don’t use PD, hence don’t have login to PD, but need to lookup who is oncall for a particular team, is there a url that can be given to them to view the schedule for a team? Or if a team who has an oncall schedule and want to provide a link to someone so they can see who is oncall, is that possible?

Event Orchestration Nested Event Rule

Hi, I have setup an Event Orchestration, and I am sending an email to its integration email address. I route the event to the proper services based on conditions. Then in the service I have one rule which always triggers, and pulls information out of the message body and stores them in the event custom_details. I then have a second rule to the right (nested) which has a condition based on the enriched data. However, the rule never fires. Does the rules to the right have access to the event custom_data set by the previous rule?

Trying to adjust start of shift notifications in IOS app

Hello friends, I have a question that I have not been able to find the answer to, either by slogging through https://support.pagerduty.com/docs/mobile-app-settings or by clicking around the app and looking at every setting I can find. I also did a quick search here in the forum and couldn’t spot an answer. Specifically, I’m trying to figure out how to configure the sound that plays when my oncall shift starts and stops. I’ve looked in the main alert settings where you set high and low urgency alert sounds and haven’t found it. Right now, the sound that plays when I start a shift is a very soft bloop and i want to make that quite a bit more alarming, but I haven’t been able to find a place to set it.

Complete API implementation

It is common to discover that there are parameters on services and other resource types which are not properly exposed in the PagerDuty API and are only available in the UI. This request is to make the REST API a complete interface to PagerDuty configuration and for it to be a first-class part of PagerDuty, not an after-thought which is only partially implemented. A request was made to add a single field to the API almost 7 years ago and it was never done. That’s a very strange attitude to take to a service used by highly technical people. References: github.com/PagerDuty/terraform-provider-pagerduty Issue: Need a way to set Conference URL for a service via terraform opened by james00002 on 2023-06-28 Affected Resource(s) pagerduty_service Expected Behavior There is no way to set the Conference URL in the terraform configuration for a service.

How many global event orchestrations can I have?

I’m not on the AI ops plan (and not interested in switching to it). How many global event orchestrations can I have? I’m thinking I might want 15 or 20 or maybe more. I see nothing in the docs regarding the max number of allowed global event orchestrations. I need to know this before I start building out my config. How many can I have? Is there a hard limit?

Retrigger resolved incidents by prometheus alertmanager

Hello I have an integration with alertmanager. All works and critical alerts in alertmanager create incidents in PD. But once incident in PD is resolved manually - even if alertmanager still send alerts - PD doesn;t open new incident. Cause from PD point of view - it already resolved. Is ther any way to override this behavior? SO that even if someone resolved incident in PD - it still will be reopened after some time? Thanks

Returning the change integration key for a service via an API call

Becasue of the number of services we have, we are looking at a way of creating a dynamic method of creating change events from our release tool, and this is the order of events we want to happen: Identify the name of the service that is being deployed Execute a get API call to retrieve the change integration key for that service. Create the POST API call to post the change event to PagerDuty the first is within our hands, and the last is a standard API call using the events API, but number 2 is the difficult one right now… any help or advice is very gratefully received - thanks

Request: Add more types to Team view - including Business Services, Orchestrations, Rulesets

Hi all! Our CSM is going to submit this request also, but here’s my post on it… In a Team view along the top there are currently only: Users Schedules Escalation Polices Services Subscriptions It would be a huge help for us to also have available there: Business Services Event Orchestrations Event Rulesets …and any/all other types of “things” which are owned by a specific Team. We tell our users that the Team page is a great starting point for any work in PD other than responding to Incidents, so adding all those remaining Team-owned types would be a big help. Thanks!

Page two schedules in parallel

I am trying to page two schedules (a leadership and eng rotation in parallel). I can have my escalation policy page both, however, once one awk the page the other stops being paged (e.g., if the leadership member answers after 1 minute the eng will never be paged on their secondary device). Any ideas about how to make this behavior happen? Thanks!

Incident Workflows to use custom responder groups

Have Incident Workflows to use custom groups/teams for specific workflow. To simplify assigning assigning large groups automatically to workflows instead of individual responders. I have organization that has multiple response teams and individuals with specific roles and tasks. And with some team members that are junior analysts who should not be called during the night but during the day.
