PagerDuty ServiceNow integration V8, extension not visible in dropdown for service

We are currently using the PagerDuty extension called ServiceNow (v7) to integrate with ServiceNow. We are upgrading our ServiceNow integration to version 8. The webhook does not work the same and appears to lack the same functionality as the extension, so we’d like to use the v8 extension.  However, it appears that the V8 extension is not available in the dropdown: Is the V8 ServiceNow integration compatible with the v7 extension? Or is there some other way for me to get the V8 ServiceNow extension? Or something else that I am missing?

Enforce Custom Field on Resolution

Is there a way to enforce that a custom field is populated when resolving an incident?   Our current use case is to create a custom field for Categorization of the resolution.   However we don’t see anyway of enforcing that it gets updated.   Without enforcement then we are just running audit reports and chasing people down.   Not the best use of time.     If there was a way to enforce that the field gets updated, that would remove this concern.

Global Event Rules

Back in 2021 I created new services with Global Event rules to replace the services with email integrations. Now with the new Event Orchestration coming I need to convert them. But for the life of me I cannot find my Global Event rules. It’s been that long since I had to change anything in PD so I am rusty. Want to get them converted before Jan.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thank you, Vito.

How can I integrate OpenNMS with Pagerduty using the events2 API

Hello, I would like to integrate OPenNMS with PagerDuty for new snmp traps received.  So if a snmp trap is received it would send a create event to Pagerduty for the corresponding service?

Managing Alert Routing in Prometheus rules with PagerDuty Using Labels for Different Teams

 Hello everyone,I am facing a challenge with setting up alert routing for Kubernetes clusters using Prometheus and PagerDuty, and I wanted to seek your advice or suggestions on how to solve this. ### Problem:We are currently using Prometheus rules to trigger alerts and send them to PagerDuty (PD) for our Kubernetes clusters. At the moment, all our alerts are routed to a single PagerDuty service. Now, we need to separate these alerts based on labels in the Prometheus rules to ensure they are handled by different teams. Specifically:- We want to route alerts for different teams based on labels defined in the Prometheus alerting rules.- Each team should have its own escalation policy within PagerDuty, but we must keep using a single PagerDuty service.- Unfortunately, we can't use the **AI Ops feature of PagerDuty** to help with this segregation. ### Example:We have two teams, **Team A** and **Team B**. Alerts for these teams should be routed based on a label in the Prometheus alert rules.

Event Orchestration - Notify after X number of Alerts?

Our use case seems to be the opposite of what PagerDuty currently supports.   I know we can use the Dedup Key to merge alerts into an already open incident and help with grouping alerts.     However our use case is to not send a notification unless we have received X number of alerts in Y time.       What we see is that a run will fail, but the next run in 15 mins is successful, so our on-call person is getting paged and then resolving the ticket because the next run was successful.    Would be good to not page the On-call person unless the next run also fails.    But haven’t seen how to handle this in PD.  The Auto-Resolve doesn’t work in our case because they are individual alerts - from seperate runs of a pipeline - the dedup key is what links them. Has anyone dealt with a use case like this?   Have you been able to solve it?

Use Service Dependency to Disable Alerts

We have a use case that looks to not be supported by PagerDuty, wondering if anyone has a way to implement this scenario.Our pipelines are dependent on 3rd party APIs.    When there is schedule maintenance of an API, we would like to be able to disable all alerts related to pipelines that are dependent on that API.     I have looked into setting up the API as a dependent service, but it doesn’t look like I can do anything with this linkage to suppress alerts.

ServiceNow Priority sometimes missing

We’ve recently upgraded to the newest version of the PagerDuty integration in ServiceNow.Now what we are finding is that sometime, the priority is not added to the ServiceNow incident that is raised. Most of the time things work fine. But sometimes, an incident is created with no priority.Most days we get one or two. Some days we get 50+.I can see no pattern to what’s going on. Times are random. Counts appear random, and most of the time it works fine.I’ve enabled debugging on PagerDuty, even added a few logs in myself, but I’m not able to see any actually issues.Has anyone come across this? Does anyone have an ideas on how I might move things forward?

iOS 18 Custom Notification Sound

Hey everyone, I was just wondering if there's a way to set a customized notification sound for an alert with iOS 18 in the Pagerduty app itself.  The only options available are either the built-in notification sounds that Pagerduty offers, or choosing the “iOS Tones” folder - but this folder does not show the custom notification/ringtone sounds that I’ve setup in iOS itself.  There is also no way to change the app’s notification sounds from the iOS Settings app, I can only toggle sounds on or off as a blanket option.  Just wondering if this is possible or maybe on the roadmap for the future, as it seems like older versions of the app supported this (as does the Android app). In the first two screenshots, this is all we have to choose from - the stock Pagerduty sounds or the iOS tones folder.  In my third screenshot, iOS Settings app doesn't offer any options except sounds on or off.  In my last screenshot, I already have custom sounds working in iOS Settings, but they still aren't avai

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?

Do I have any control at all over how email notifications sent by the events API display details?

I’m not talking about the email integration, I’m using the Events API with a global orchestration and I’m not using AI Ops.The email notifications sent are a problem. In the app the “details” json is nicely displayed, but in emails the entire details field is crammed together in one text string.Can I fix this? PD is sending html emails, why can’t it format the details field nice like in the app?I have users that want to use email as their notification channel without using the app. The details section in the emails is practically unreadable.I can’t find any settings or docs about making the details section in emails look better.

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

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?

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.
