Configure PagerDuty Connection

A PagerDuty connection securely stores reusable authentication credential and URL path information for integrations with PagerDuty.

Complete the following steps to configure a connection to PagerDuty:

  1. Generate your PagerDuty routing key
  2. Create the PagerDuty connection from the Alert Logic console
  3. Use the connection

Generate your PagerDuty routing key

To generate the PagerDuty integration service routing key (also known as the Integration Key), follow the instructions in the PagerDuty documentation. When following the instructions, select Events API V2. Each Integration Key creates alerts in PagerDuty for a single service, for which the key was generated.

Create the PagerDuty connection from the Alert Logic console

After you generate your PagerDuty routing key, the next step is to create the PagerDuty connection in the Alert Logic console.

To create a PagerDuty connection:

  1. In the Alert Logic console, click the navigation menu icon (), click Configure, and then click Connections.
  2. On the Connections page, click the add icon (), and then click PagerDuty.
  3. On the Create a PagerDuty Connection page, type a descriptive name for the connection—for example, "PagerDuty Connection".
  4. In Base URL, use the default Base URL.
  5. In Routing Key, paste the routing key you generated.
  6. Click SAVE.

Use the connection

After you save the connection, you can use it in a templated connection. For more information on templated connections, see Templated Connections Configuration Guide.
