Integration Mechanics: How It Functions

The PulseStack™-PagerDuty integration operates through a streamlined event flow:

When PulseStack™ detects a service interruption, it immediately dispatches a DOWN event to your designated PagerDuty service. This event either creates a new incident or adds an alert to an existing related incident, depending on your configuration.

Once the monitored service recovers, PulseStack™ sends an UP event that automatically resolves the corresponding PagerDuty incident, maintaining clean incident records and accurate response metrics.

This bidirectional communication ensures your incident management system stays perfectly synchronised with your actual service status.

Complete Setup Guide

Setting up this integration requires configuration in both platforms. Here's your step-by-step walkthrough:

Configure PagerDuty Service Integration:

  1. Navigate to Configuration → Services in your PagerDuty dashboard
  2. Either select an existing service or create a new one specifically for PulseStack™ monitoring
  3. Add a new integration and select 'PulseStack™' as the integration type (this works seamlessly with PulseStack™)
  4. Provide a descriptive integration name like 'PulseStack™-Website-Monitoring'
  5. Save the integration and securely store the generated Integration Key

Configure PulseStack™ Alert Contact:

  1. Access your PulseStack™ dashboard at pulsestack.co.uk and navigate to My Settings
  2. Select 'Add Alert Contact' and choose PagerDuty from the available options
  3. Enter your Integration Key and configure your preferred alert settings
  4. Choose which event types should trigger PagerDuty notifications (UP, DOWN, or both)
  5. Attach this alert contact to your desired monitors through the monitor edit interface

Managing and Removing the Integration

PulseStack™ provides flexible options for managing your PagerDuty integration:

Selective Monitor Management: Use the Bulk Actions feature to quickly attach or remove PagerDuty notifications across multiple monitors simultaneously. This is particularly useful when reorganising your monitoring strategy.

Complete Integration Removal: To fully disconnect the integration, navigate to My Settings → Alert Contacts and click the X button next to your PagerDuty integration. This action requires confirmation and will remove PagerDuty notifications from all associated monitors.
