StatusHub Integration
StausHub & PagerDuty Integration for Automated Incident Management
PagerDuty is a popular DevOps tool that allows teams to manage resources and communications. StatusHub is built to communicate issues and incidents to your users and customers. Linking these systems lets your technical team take advantage of automation and save time. Their time is even more precious during unexpected incidents; automate the detection and resolution process to solve issues in record time.

StatusHub and PagerDuty integration overview
PagerDuty aggregates data from multiple monitoring tools depending on your setup. When PagerDuty identifies an issue in your system, it will push this notification to your StatusHub account through our secure connection. When StatusHub receives this notification it will then automatically create an incident report and post it to your StatusHub, automating one of the more time-consuming steps in the incident resolution process.
Your technical team now has time to investigate and, ideally, resolve the detected problem quickly with the peace of mind of knowing that your customers and users have been informed.
Key Benefits of Incident Management Automation
Real-time Updates: The StatusHub platform updates end-users in real-time about the status of their infrastructure, ensuring transparent communication during outages.
Automation: The integration automates the creation of incident reports on StatusHub whenever an issue is detected by PagerDuty, which saves valuable time during critical operations.
Simplified Configuration: The setup involves straightforward steps that link PagerDuty's incident detection capabilities with StatusHub's communication tools. This streamlined workflow helps your organization prioritize issues faster, reduce manual tasks, and scale the business-critical incident management process quickly and effectively.
Technical Overview of PagerDuty Integration with StatusHub for Automated Incident Management
Because PagerDuty integration is done through a URL with a service token, it’s a one-to-many association. A single webhook can’t create incidents in multiple services.
The PagerDuty integration can only create incidents in StatusHub.
A “yellow” StatusHub status is not possible with this integration. Only the “red” and “green” options will be relevant.
The incident title will be “PagerDuty Alert” and, currently, can not be customized.
The incident body will be taken from the “subject” key from “triggersummarydata”, which consists of the incident details. Example body: “CPU Load High on xdbproductionecho.”
This comprehensive approach ensures that managing incidents becomes a more integrated part of your ITSM strategy, helping to provide a quicker and more effective resolution and maintain high standards of operational integrity across the enterprise.
