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

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.

Trying to run pdagent on Nagios server running RHEL 9 system

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?

Stop the Slackbot from mentioning me

If you Awknowledge or Resolve an incident the Slackbot adds PagerDuty Username @slack-name to the Slack notification, but why tag me, the PD username I get? It seems very noisy and distracting If I’ve closed an incident I don’t need a Slack mention telling me so, I know I’ve done so, and everyone else can tell who it was by the PagerDuty Username

PD.fail and PD.assertType error message

This is possibly a really silly question, but I am writing a custom app, on these 2 functions there is a parameter for an error message, but where is that surfaced? I have added PD.fail("Foo") to the top of my transformer and called the endpoint, I still get a success response, although of course no incident is created as it doesn’t get to the PD.emitEventsV2 I tried searching here and was surprised not to fail anything

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!

Triggered by field on slack notification

In slack notification created due to incidents from things like Cloudwatch and Prometheus Alert Manager there is a Triggered by field which links through to the source, how do I set this on notifications generated by the Events API? I have set a link in links but that doesn’t show and I can’t find any additional information on this

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!

PagerDuty App for Splunk, Custom Fields Not Populating

Hi, I am new to PagerDuty so hoping the following question makes sense. I have a Splunk alert triggering an incident in PagerDuty using the PagerDuty App for Splunk. PagerDuty correctly sends notifications by email, SMS, and phone call upon recieving those messages from Splunk. Additionally, I am sending a custom JSON payload using the Custom Details section in the Splunk App. These Custom Details are recieved correctly in the incident message but the Custom Details are not used by PagerDuty to populate the corresponding Custom Fields. Following is the Custom Details portion of the incident message received from Splunk "custom_details": { "display_text": "Sample display text.", "severity": "CRITICAL", "source": "Sample source", "summary": "Sample summary." } There also exists custom text fields defined in PagerDuty that correspond to each of these fields, named: display_text, severity, source, and summary. However, the Custom Fields section of each inci

Rundeck - winrm - job ok on local server but ko when launched via rundeck

Hi, I have a python script that opens Excel files to update them with the Xlsx.Workbooks.Open command. When I run the script locally on the server with the “rundeck” account, the script works correctly. When I run it via rundeck and pywinrm using the same user “rundeck” the Xlsx.Workbooks.Open command is in error : error \\data\\excel\\Suivi_sav.xlsx\\xa0". Several reasons are possible\\xa0:\\n\\n• The file name or path does not exist. \\n• This file is currently used by another program.\\n• The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook.", ‘xlmain11.chm’, 0, -2146827284), None). I have the impression that when I launch via rundeck - pywinrm the user “rundeck” does not have the same rights as when I launch locally while being connected with the user “rundeck” Do you have any idea about this problem? THANKS. Pat

Set priority for incidents created using events API v2

Hello, Looks like we don’t have support to assign priorities for incidents created using events API v2. Since the events API is asynchronous, the method of updating priority using update incident API soon after calling events API doesn’t work! (Since the incident wouldn’t have been created by then!) On the other hand, Create incident API supports priority assignment, but doesn’t support JSON objects in the custom details section. However we need both priority and JSON object support. Is there any workaround for this? If not, can we please consider this as a feature request?
