PagerDuty (Incidents API)

Setup a PagerDuty connection for Streaming Data Platform alerts and notifications.

This option is deprecated in Lenses version 4.1. Editing existing connection and channel for PagerDuty incident integration will be still available, but there is no option of creating new connection and channel for this kind of integration.

Instead of using the Incidents API, please use the PagerDuty Events API

Set up

1. Visit Admin → Connections and click New connection

2. Select PagerDuty

3. Provide a name and configuration

You can also optionally add tags (i.e. dev). Then add the PagerDuty API Key, which must be a General Access REST API Key . To obtain the API Token, login to PagerDuty and navigate to API Access Keys page under Configuration menu, then create new API Key.

Add channel

Next add one or multiple target PagerDuty channels.

1. Visit Admin → Channels and click PagerDuty

2. Setup the configuration options

First, go to PagerDuty Services page and create new service. When choosing Integration Type, pick Don't use an integration. Once saved the service identifier can be grabbed from the browser URL on the service details page.

http://****.pagerduty.com/service-directory/PZXAEXE

For the above example the service id is PZXAEXE

Use the above within Lenses to create a pager-duty-channel, that uses the pager-duty connection to send information to the PZXAEXE service id from the email address of your admin.

An example

If for example you create a rule to send infrastructure notifications to PagerDuty, then the moment a Broker becomes offline, a specific alert will be sent to the specific PagerDuty connection.

Additional info

Users with the alert permission can create alert rules .
