Rate limit of Api

Hi, Team, I’m iterating to all the schedules through rest api using python request schedule_layer_id = “” devops_schedule = False for x in session.iter_all(“schedules”): #print(“schedule name is -----”, schedule_name) if x[“name”] == schedule_name: devops_schedule = True schedule_id = x[“id”] break But I’m getting UserWarning: Stopping iter_all on GET /schedules at limit+offset=10100 as this exceeds the maximum permitted by the API (10000). The set of results may be incomplete. False is there any way to resolve this or any filters can we use ? looking at this did not get anything https://developer.pagerduty.com/docs/ZG9jOjExMDI5NTU2-filtering it will be great help if you can help me resloving this @devops

Bad request when creating custom fields

Newbie here! I’m trying to create a custom field to use in escalation policies. When creating the custom field, I keep getting a ‘Bad request’ error: name: can only contain a-z 0-9 and .... However, the Field Name nor the Field Options contain anything but letters (no white space either). Anyone else running into this problem / know a solution? Thanks in advance!

PagerDuty Periorties (Incident)

Is it possible to configure PagerDuty such that when an incident is triggered and classified as Priority 1 (P1) or Priority 2 (P2), then it escalates to a predefined escalation policy? other than it will not call the peoples that are in the escalation policy.

Post resolution note and status update template not the same

Hi. I have made some Incident workflows that utilize some custom status update templates. If the person on guard sets the incident to P1 some stakeholders will automatically get a status update using a custom status update template, saying that we have a incident. The same custom template are used when the person in change have updates to the status. When the incident is resolved the custom template is used again to send out a email that the incident has resolved. Again using the custom template. When resolving the issue there is a checkbox called “Post resolution note as status update” it checked by default. So if the person on guard is NOT unchecking it. Pagerduty will send out a Resolved note to all the stakeholders, using a completely other template!! Either we want the checkbox to be unchecked by default or we want to be able to use our custom template when it sends out the mail. We dont want to send two different emails out using two different templates. Does anyone know how to s

Ability to "Raise urgency of unacknowledged incidents to high"

I am configuring a new PD service where “Outside support hours” is set to “Dynamic notifications based on alert severity”. If severity is “high” the on-call engineer gets paged, otherwise it will be considered as low urgency. Up to this point all good. However, I want the alert to be raised to high urgency once we enter support hours. This is possible when “Outside of support hours” is set to “Low-urgency notifications, do not escalate” as there’s a check-box “Raise urgency of unacknowledged incidents to high” I can tick. Why is this checkbox not available when I select "“Dynamic notifications based on alert severity”? Let me know of an alternative approach. I wanting to avoid having to create 2 services for this.

Is it possible to set the the Communication Channel for a Service via Terraform? I’ve already got the pagerduty_service and pagerduty_slack_connection working together, but a new service will have the Communication Channel blank in the UI, and I don’t see any listed options in the TF resource.

Events API V2 - Update Custom Details

I found this old forum post from 2019 which suggests we cannot update the alert’s custom details. Is this still the case? In which we have to open a new incident? For example, I want to dedupe multiple AWS Personal Health Dashboard alerts into one incident and have the custom details update with the latest AWS message. Otherwise, you have to go to the alert log and see the update or have multiple incidents triggered. Friends of Pagey – 18 Nov 19 Unable to update custom details of incident/alert with dedup key using Events... Hi, Can anyone help me with some guidance on how I can update the custom details on consecutive events being sent with the same dedup key? I had to follow through the incident timeline and click on “View message” to get the latest custom detail. ...

Is it possible to use variables in API Endpoint URLs

Hello, I was trying to create a proof-of-concept solution for a scenario where alerts/incidents are triggered by emails with ticket creation notifications. Message subjects contain ticket IDs, which I was able to extract with email integration rules. The last part of the scenario is to create a query that would add a worklog entry to a ticket from the email notifications. The API endpoint of the ticketing system requires that you supply the ticket number in the API endpoint url. I wanted to kindly ask for any suggestions on how this could be done with PagerDuty. Is it possible to use variables in outbound API endpoint queries?

Determining source of an event

I had an incident triggered by an event sent to the API, however, I have difficulties identifying the source of the event (it does not match any of the sources I’m aware of, it doesn’t even match my tech stack). Is there a way to identify the source IP of the caller of the events API? Or anything that could help me pinpoint the source of the API call?

Problem: Acknowledging an incident silences all new alerts

Hi, my current problem is that once an incident is acknowledged, new incidents of the same severity (though different incidents) will no longer trigger an alert. So, say, if I am alerted with a high severity alert and I acknowledge it instead of resolving, no new high severity incidents will alert. Is there a way to change this such that each new incident will create an alert, as long as it’s not identical to an already acknowledged incident? Thank you!

PagerDuty urgency and severity

Hello, I had set rules in pager duty to reduce noise and get calls only if the problem was critical. My problem is even if I set those rules using orchestration, I’m still getting the urgency high when it’s warning severity like in the screenshot below. I’m glad for any help if someone knows about this problem. Thank you in advance: .

Incident workflow triggers not working after assign 48 tech services.

Hi, I met a problem when creating a workflow. So I added a few actions, then added a condition trigger AND a manual trigger which both has 48 tech services assigned. Also I run the API get workflow, it shows it has 2 triggers. But on the workflow detail page, the manual trigger does not appear Problem: when trigger a tech service incident, which should use this workflow, workflow not being used. To compare, I created a similar workflow which has condition + manual trigger, both has 1 tech service assigned. and it works perfect I wonder if someone could tell me where I could look at logs and knows what exactly happened? thank you in advance

What happens to "resolve" events that do not have a corresponding triggered alert?

Short Version If a “resolve” message is sent to the /enqueue endpoint of the v2 API and the dedup-key finds no corresponding triggered alert, is the message just silently dropped? Long Version As part of our custom CI/CD system we send deployment messages to both the /enqueue and /change/enqueue endpoints of the v2 API. The idea is that both successful and failed deployments send messages to both endpoints but for the /enqueue endpoint we have a rule that suppresses the successful messages because we don’t need to see them. The failed deployment messages are not suppressed and do create incidents which are resolved by subsequent successful deployments. However, I can’t actually find any suppressed alerts for successful deployments to the /enqueue endpoint so I don’t think we even need the rule to do the suppression. We currently use a very simple dedup-key like <app>-<stage>-<region>. I’m thinking that means that the API can only really use the message if a correspon

Single-person layer

Hi friends, We have a single-layer schedule with six people, where each person is on duty for the entire 168-hour week (Monday 10 am to the following Monday 10 am). We would like to add a layer containing a single person who takes weekday (7 am to 4 pm, Monday-Friday) shifts once every seven weeks. So every seven weeks, the regular on-callers would have their weekdays overridden by the new layer. I know how to add a new layer with a single person; I know how to add time-of-day and day-of-week restrictions such that the single person on the new layer is scheduled for the required shift; I cannot grasp how to have that single person only activated every 7 weeks. I have tried adding our “Service Account” (i.e. “Nobody”) user to the new layer, but that results in the single person and “Service Account” alternating weeks. What I’m looking for is that a single person gets a week of weekday shifts every seven weeks, and the new layer is empty the other six weeks.
