LogDNA’s alert integration with PagerDuty interfaces with PagerDuty Event API and allows alerts set from LogDNA to trigger events in PagerDuty.

For general information on alerts and instructions on how to create alerts, follow the documentation instructions listed in the “How to create an alert” section of the documentation.

Integrating with PagerDuty

On the alerts creation page, select the PagerDuty logo. Define the alert properties (learn more here) and click the “Add PagerDuty” button to connect your PagerDuty account.

You will be directed to PagerDuty to authorize the integration. After authorization, your new alerts will be in your PagerDuty incidents dashboard:

[companysubdomain].pagerduty.com/incidents

Remember to save your alert so that your alerts will trigger in PagerDuty and new alerts will be in your PagerDuty incidents dashboard.

Testing your PagerDuty alert integration

Before saving your PagerDuty alert, you can also trigger a test alert with test data. As long as you have selected a connected source from PagerDuty, you will be able to create a test alert.

For more information on how our integration works with PagerDuty, please refer to PagerDuty’s documentation.

Limitations on PagerDuty data payload

Because of PagerDuty integration limitations, we trim all requests to be at most 400 kilobytes.
