Hi Eveyone,

I integrated our Icinga2 server with Pager Duty based on the integration document PD provided. Every thing works fine, until recently I found some alert cleared in icinga2 but still not auto resolved in PagerDuty. Any comment on what could be the possible issue?

Thanks,
Weiqi

Customizing SMS text that is sent in a notification from PagerDuty

Hello:
I read the section “SMS Notifications” from:


.
It describes that is included. So far, so good.
.
I searched and searched, and I could not find a section that describes how to customize the SMS notification that is sent by the email integration from a PagerDuty service.
.
In particular: my service uses email integration. The originating system has a ticket number which is NOT in the Subject line, but the ticket number is inside the body.
The SMS notification from the PagerDuty includes part of the Subject line of the original email, but it does not include the original ticket number.
We would like to customize this SMS notification to parse the body, find out the original ticket number and then tell the PagerDuty service to include the ticket number in the SMS notification.
.
Thanks!

Feature request: sorting / filtering user list

@jshort wrote:

We’re in the process of adding in about 50 stakeholder users, rendering the user management page rather unwieldy. I don’t see any way to sort by role or title, and the search dialog only searches on username and email. I realize pagination makes sorting problematic, but it would be a nontrivial quality of life improvement for us.

Feature Request: iOS Badge

Feature Request

I really wish PageDuty showed a Badge on the app icon. I would like the badge to display the number of open incidents assigned to me. I would imagine others may want the badge to display the number of triggered incidents, or “Any” incidents assigned to them. Ideally, the badge would be configurable.

About Account Deletion

I have a question about account deletion.
When trying to delete an account, some sort of Service / Escalation policy / incident
If you are tied, you could not delete them until you cancel them all.
Is there a workaround to delete something in bulk?
Delete all is difficult to manually, for example when a retiree comes out
Please let me know if there is any good way to do it.

The Configuration Checklist for Managers

@hailey wrote:

So you’re a Manager for your team and your job is to set up PagerDuty. Wondering where to start? Not to worry - we are here to help!

Step 1: Set up your user profile

Configure a phone number, SMS, email and device for push notifications, and manage how you want to be contacted for different types of incidents. With PagerDuty, you manage incidents your way so that you can get notified and take action on issues immediately, from any device, wherever you may be.

Step 2: Add your team to PagerDuty

Tip: Only the Account Owner and Global Admins have the ability to add/delete users

Step 3: Add your Users to an On-Call Schedule

PagerDuty On-Call Schedules aim to evenly distribute incident response responsibilities across your teams. It enforces accountability which in turn helps you improve the quality of the services you deliver as your organization scales.

Step 4: Add your On-Call Schedules to an Escalation Policy

Escalation Policies ensure that the business is safeguarded with the next line of defense and 24x7 coverage in the event that a designated on-call responder is unavailable, or does not respond within a designated time frame.

Step 5: Set up Services and Integrations

PagerDuty enables you to model your services as they actually exist within your infrastructure. You can drive more clarity and accountability by aligning services with component ownership so that the alerts your responders receive are not just from siloed tools.

Step 6: Test your configuration and trigger a test incident. Troubleshooting help? Contact support@pagerduty.com

Avoid being scheduled for Primary and Secondary, when Secondary list is a subset of Primary

@Steven_Lumos wrote:

We have a Primary schedule with the entire team, and a Secondary schedule with a subset of the team, roughly based on experience.

The problem is that people in the Secondary group often end up scheduled for both Primary and Secondary, and we have to schedule overrides or try changing the order in an attempt to fix it.

Would like the ability to say, if a person is going to be scheduled as Primary and Secondary, schedule the next person from the Secondary list instead. Is that possible?

Creating a Service, only with SMS / EMAIL / PUSH and not phone call

@gastonl wrote:

Hi Everyone!

I am new to PagerDuty and I am having hard time to find a way to create a service with a lower priority by default, so it can use a different type of alerting, for instance if the service is not mission critical, I would like to get text notifications (email, sms or push) but without the phone call, but keep the phone call for services with higher priority or mission critical.

What would be the best / easiest way to achieve this?

Thanks

Gaston

Developing an extension similar to HipChat or Jira

@mcan wrote:

Hello,

I would like to develop an extension for creating webhooks so the users can be notified if there is an incident or an incident has been resolved etc. I have read the documentations but as far as I can understand, all the operations on the API requires API keys, which are generated by users. But there are extensions like HipChat or Jira that have their own configuration pages in an iframe and don’t require users to input API keys, which is much more convenient. I assume that these extensions are using their own extension schemas and addons which are defined globally so the users don’t have to create them manually, but I couldn’t find any information regarding to these. I would be happy if you could inform me about the steps required for creating an extension similar to HipChat or Jira with their own globally defined schemas and addons.

Thank you
