Hi, when I’m calling /notes and /status_updates most are successful but they sometimes fail and do not provide a useful error message. When it fails the response code is ‘0’ and the error message is “read ECONNRESET”. I am calling these APIs about 60 times within a minute or two. The same error occurs when I’m calling the APIs separately an hour apart. Most of the requests are successful but there’s a few calls that fails randomly with response code ‘0’. What is causing these errors?

Hello! I haven’t seem any posts for this but I can’t imagine I’m the only person with this requirement. Basically, one of the things we’re using PD for is to trigger on call on support when someone need help off hours. We’re integrating with Jira Cloud and this is feasible. The problem we have is that sometimes we need to request information to further troubleshoot and that is not provided immediately, for the most part. Now, our problem is that we have no way of triggering that incident again when the reply comes. Does anyone have a similar requirement and found a way to workaround it? Thank you!

Howdy! What is the best way to escalate from one pager duty instance’s escalation to an external contractors pager duty on-call rotation? Idea being that a contractor is responsible for responding to incidents and has their own escalation policies/schedules, and we just want to say the first step on the internal incident is to page the contractors on-call person.

Good day PagerDuty Community, I have a question about Webhook Configuration. I cannot find the answer in the documentation if it’s possible to be informed via webhook when the engineer scheduled a maintenance window and via webhook that the maintenance window started/ended. Is it possible? Best regards, Mariusz Zalewski

Hello Since upgrade Rundeck community to v4.9 I have a problem with WinRM plugin. All Windows Servers are concerned. I have the following error: 1=Dispatch failed on 1 nodes: [xxxxxxx: Unknown: com.dtolabs.rundeck.core.CoreException Do you have an idea. Thanks in advance for your help

Has anyone been successful with ways to mock or stub responses from the API for unit tests? For instance, I have some code that responds differently based on whether they are active maintenance windows or not and I’ll like to be able to test both branches.

Hello. I’m creating new Add-on through PD API. Work fine, and I can create some Add-on correctly. Once create an Add-on, I don’t know how I can attach a Service to the new Add-on through PD API. I’ve searched the documentation but can’t find anything about it. Can anybody help me? Thanks in advance.

Context: I am trying to change an existing user role from ‘user’ to ‘observer’ via Update User API: https://developer.pagerduty.com/api-reference/ce6799fc6191a-update-a-user I am able to create new users with the ‘observer’ role via API but in this case I’d like to update an existing user. As the first step I get a user (and it works fine): in user.role = user. Then I change it user.role = observer and call the Update API. Expected behaviour: The role is changed to ‘observer’ and the user is returned with the new role. Witnessed behaviour: It seems the role is not changed as the user is returned with the ‘user’ role via API and shown as ‘Manager’ on the web.

I have a single report of PagerDuty callouts being blocked by nomorobo, which is a “robot smam call management tool used by a number of phone carriers.” PagerDuty may need to take action to get excluded from the nomorobo list. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi team, I know you have create template API, but after I created it and then how to use this template through API call ? Because there has no template _id field exists in the Create Incident api request. So how to implement auto bind template when I call the Create Incident API ? I found the Render Template API, but it requires me to pass the incident_id , it looks a little weird. thank you !

Hi, Does anyone have a cunning method of reformatting the date/timestamps in the csv analytics report exports please? They currently come out like this… 2023-01-11T03:49:17+00:00 But we would like them to be more human readable, like this… 11-01-2023 03:49:17 We have created a macro in Excel that splits it into separate date and time columns in the format we require, but then merging the two columns just turns the contents into a number (e.g. 44937 0.159224537037037) which we then cannot convert into a meaningful date & time. Thanks Chris

Hey Everyone! I’ve got a quick question regarding incident deduplication. I’ve set up event rules which receive events from datadog & set a dedup key in order to avoid incident duplications. In rare cases the incident should also be triggered manually. What my concern is, if an incident is triggered manually & after a while an event is sent to the rule, would I have two separate incidents? How should I avoid this? Thanks in advance!

Hello I am using live call routing, I’m receiving the call, but my users are not receiving push or text notifications. Not even an incident is created when receiving the call. Can you help me with that? thank you,

I’m trying to connect an existing pagerduty incident to an existing slack channel via API. I know it’s easy to accomplish this via the pagerduty app dashboard using the “Set Slack Channel”, but I have a use case where I want to tie an existing slack channel to an existing incident without creating a new slack connection. Is this possible today?

Hi, Id like to setup a slack integration that only notifies the channel on escalation - is this possible? Right now it seems you can’t de-select the ‘triggered’ event

Hello, I am currently using splunk for 5 years and I have a lot of alerts. We want use pagerduty. But it’s to difficult to transform actual alert splunk to create incident on pagerduty with the good service, severity or Intelligency filters. I would like add payload information in the alert part of splunk : summary severity component group I can not update the title of my alert due to the usage of the same alert for another product. Also some of my alerts are run for different teams and the alert name in splunk is not dynamic. I would like make my own summary for PagerDuty. Do you work on a solution to my problem and if not, can you give me (if exists) the link to your code “pagerDuty incident” for splunk on Git to add some fields in the alert action pagerduty ?

One service uses two policies, and certain conditions determine which policy to use when creating an event，Is it possible？In some cases, such as P1, P2, P3 events, I want to use ESCALATION POLICY A, but other events use ESCALATION POLICY B (depending on the nature of the event).

Hi PagerDuty, We’re looking at how to get around rate limit for an Events V2 API integration and one of the official suggestions says that we could increase the number of integrations. But is there a max number of integrations for a given service? Thanks, Yixuan

i am using solarwinds npm evaluation with sqlexpress and trying integrate with pagerduty following this https://www.pagerduty.com/docs/guides/solarwinds-integration-guide/ but i am getting below error while importing the alert template ERROR NewAlertingService - (null) Failed to import alert from Alert+me+via+PagerDuty+when+a+node+is+down.xml! Migration message: Alert import failed with error: Account is not permitted to import SQL based Alert or Alert contains SQL variables! is there anyway to check the integration working fine or not

In GCP monitoring -> alerting -> notifications channels, there is a “PagerDuty Sync” option. However, despite my best efforts, I haven’t been able to make it work. On the face of it, it is fairly straight forward. It only asks for 3 fields: Display Name, Subdomain, API Key. There’s even a little help pop-up that gives instructions within pagerduty to create the API Key. However, after following the instructions, no alerts ever come in. To test to make sure alerts are being generated, I used an alternate alert method, which seemed to work fine. Has anybody been able to get this to work? What am I missing? I’ve tried creating the key via pagerduty.com/api_keys which seems to be what gcp suggests. And I’ve tried making it read-only and full access. But no luck. I’ve also tried creating a key via “Events API V2” in the service-directory. Also no luck there. The eventual goal is to have G

Hi, We have an incident that is configured to notify someone over the email. So, whenever that specific incident gets created, the email recipient gets notified. We want the email recipient to get notified when the incident is resolved. We tried to set following notification setting in the User config, When any of my incidents are resolved, html email me at OutageAlerts@company.org Although, when the incident is resolved, it notifies only those who have acknowledged the incident. So, if the incident is not acknowledged by the email recipient, the recipient does not get the resolved notification. Is there a way to send a Resolved notification to a user even when the incident is not acknowledged by the user ?

I’ve been tasked to writing a python script to validate database restores and, if the restore fails, to trigger a PagerDuty incident. The main body of the script is finished, but I am having trouble with the part that would trigger an incident. I’ve looked at pdpyras and I’ve looked at the example script at https://github.com/PagerDuty/API_Python_Examples/blob/master/REST_API_v2/Incidents/trigger_incident.py. The latter seems like it would meet my requirements better than pdpyras, but I have some questions about some of the variable values in the script. “API_KEY” is self-explanatory, but are there specific values required for “SERVICE_ID” and “FROM”, or are those values that I can assign? I’m working in a GovCloud environment, so I want to be sure that the URL “

Is it possible to trigger an incident by sending an email to PagerDuty?
