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: .

SentinelOne & PagerDuty

Hey all! I’m trying to configure PagerDuty to work with SentinelOne with their “integration” but i’m getting this error PagerDuty] Error Code: 1008 Error Message: Requester User Not Found Errors: [] Reason: ‘Create PagerDuty issue on’ is set to All Threats (Warning: Potentially disruptive to business operations). My config seems fine : I read that the “from” is now mandatory but from the screenshot it seems it’s not an option to configure it. Anyone had this issue before?

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

API script to bulk create users

Is there a API or script to bulk create new users in PagerDuty? I tried https://github.com/PagerDuty/public-support-scripts/blob/master/import_users/import_users.rb which has errors. Also the pypd library is old https://pypi.org/project/pypd/

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.

My HTML tables are getting separated on either side of the incident event mailer footer.

When one HTML table is sent to pagerduty, it works fine and is positioned above the mail footer. When I send 2 or more tables, the one table is positioned above the footer and the rest is positioned below the footer. Does anyone know why this happens?

JIRA Integration, API Configuration

According to the following documentation https://developer.pagerduty.com/api-reference/697136b12f633-list-rules, we have to inspect the traffic for an Authorization header in the website, in order to obtain a bearer token to use the API. However I can see no such request or Authorization header within PagerDuty, is there some other way I can use this API?

Scheduling across multiple teams with a subset of services

Hi, We’re struggling to make some alterations to our existing PD configuration as we onboard some new engineers. I’m not sure if we’re approaching this the wrong way, it’s a limitation of PagerDuty or something else so would appreciate any thoughts and advice! First a bit of background: In our org, we have office hours and out-of-hours engineers. We have two schedules Daytime UK (9am-5pm Monday-Friday) and On Call (5pm-9am Monday-Friday & Friday 5pm – Monday 9am), configured using time restrictions. There’s an Escalation Policy named 24x7 which notifies the above two schedules. The problem: We’re introducing some new engineers in another region and they’ll cover alerts during their working day. This could be achieved by renaming and adding layers to the Daytime UK schedule and adjusting the time restrictions or by adding a new schedule; Daytime US . However, for the foreseeable future, the new engineers would only be covering a subset of services. So Services A, B and C would be su

JIRA Integration, change urgency

What is the best way to change urgency or severity within PagerDuty for an incident that starts in JIRA and is pulled into PagerDuty via the JIRA integration? It does not appear as though it is possible to send such incidents to the service orchestration.

Understanding Events/Alerts/Incidents

Hello, We have some current automation posting to the enqueue endpoint to trigger alerts for our on-call individuals. These posts include the routing keys created by setting up an integration for each service using the Microsoft Flow integration. We’re currently migrating our workflows to another RPA tool instead of Flow and have rebuilt the functionality, but curious if there’s a generic API key. Is there a recommended/best practice method of triggering events/alerts via REST API for each service directory? We looked into the OAuth method, but this does not seem to be useful for events/alerts.

Max and available user count API

Is tehre a REST API that will return the max number of users and the available number of users for an account? If I try to create a user using the API and have reached max user count what is the API response? Thanks, Stvee I have looked at the api reference but it does not seem as if this is possible. Could anyone confirm this and perhaps suggest an alternative method to monitor available users? Thank you. – Pete

Trying to resolve incidents using email

Hi, I’m using OpenNMS to catch snmp traps from remote devices. When it receives a trap, OpenNMS matches it to a notification that sends an email to Pagerduty. The subject of the email is a unique combination of the device type, the remote hostname and trap name. I also have a second notification that matches the ‘Cleared’ trap. This sends an email to Pagerduty with the same subject and the email body contains the string ‘Severity: Cleared’ as shown below For some reason the incident is not being resolved. I hope that someone can help me to work out why it’s not working.

ZenDesk integration

We have installed the ZenDesk PagerDuty integration and configured the API keys. The webhook test seems fine. When we attempt to sign into the PagerDuty application from ZenDesk it states that for full access to the application we require a different license. However, we have a professional license, which according to the following pages https://support.pagerduty.com/docs/zendesk-integration-guide and also PagerDuty Customer Service Operations Pricing Explore our Customer Service Operations pricing options. Try it free for 14 days and bridge the gap between customer service and engineering. No credit card required. should be sufficient. Has anyone else seen this issue or know of a fix? I have opened a support ticket with PagerDuty about this but had no response as yet. Interestingly when we save permissions preferences for the integration it seems to work ok until we return to the page when we see default permissions. I don’t know

Report - agregating all notes from Incidents with the same name

Hi, We have been exploring various reporting options, and it seems that we have encountered a slight limitation with our current capabilities. We are interested in creating a report or knowledge base that would allow us to search for an Incident name and retrieve all associated notes from incidents with the same title. Currently, our incident titles are based on AWS alarm names that arrive to PagerDuty. We would like to know if it is possible to generate a report that includes the notes added to PagerDuty for each AWS alarm (In essence, it would refer to a single Incident name and encompass all the notes that were added to multiple Incidents sharing the same name). Is this a feature that is supported within the PagerDuty workflow?

Deduplication and merging into one incident - AWS events

Hi, I am currently facing a challenge with managing AWS events through PagerDuty. Our objective is to automatically merge multiple identical events into a single incident and suppress all subsequent notifications. Unfortunately, we have encountered difficulties with the “Content-based” option for noise reduction in the Service Settings. Although different events were merged into a single incident, they were not actually identical. We attempted to solve this issue by using Event orchestration, where we set up a process to match the desired line in the ‘event.summary’ and then suppress multiple occurrences of these events using nested rules. However, this approach did not yield the desired results. I would like to ask if using Service Alert Grouping in combination with Event Orchestration is a normal practice, or if the Orchestration can “overwrite” the Service Alert Grouping settings. Would you be able to guide me to identify any flaws in my thinking or documentation that could assist u
