We send events to the PagerDuty Events API v2. Each check opens one PagerDuty incident when it fails, and the recovery resolves that incident.

Get an integration key in PagerDuty

  1. In PagerDuty, open the service that must page for the alerts.
  2. Open the Integrations tab and add an integration of the type Events API V2.
  3. Copy the Integration Key. It has 32 letters and digits.

Add the channel

  1. Open Alerting and click Add channel.
  2. Select PagerDuty.
  3. Enter a name and paste the integration key.
  4. Click Create Channel.
  5. Click Send test on the channel card. The test opens an incident in PagerDuty and resolves it at once.

PagerDuty gets downtime, recovery, SSL certificate, DNS and scan alerts. It does not get performance alerts.

If PagerDuty refuses the key, alerts to this channel stop and the channel shows Refusing alerts. Paste a valid key on the edit page and send a test.
