[[actions-pagerduty]]
=== PagerDuty Action

Use the PagerDuty action to create events in https://pagerduty.com/[
PagerDuty]. To create PagerDuty events, you must <<configuring-pagerduty,
configure at least one PagerDuty account>> in `elasticsearch.yml`.

[[configuring-pagerduty-actions]]
==== Configuring PagerDuty Actions

You configure PagerDuty actions in the `actions` array. Action-specific attributes
are specified using the `pagerduty` keyword.

The following snippet shows a simple PagerDuty action definition:

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
"actions" : {
  "notify-pagerduty" : {
    "transform" : { ... },
    "throttle_period" : "5m",
    "pagerduty" : {
      "description" : "Main system down, please check!" <1>
    }
  }
}
--------------------------------------------------
<1> Description of the message


[[adding-context-and-payloads-to-pagerduty-actions]]
==== Adding Meta Information to a PagerDuty Incident

To give the PagerDuty incident some more context, you can attach the
payload as well as an array of contexts to the action.

[source,js]
--------------------------------------------------
"actions" : {
  "notify-pagerduty" : {
    "throttle_period" : "5m",
    "pagerduty" : {
      "account" : "team1",
      "description" : "Main system down, please check! Happened at {{ctx.execution_time}}"
      "attach_payload" : true,
      "client" : "/foo/bar/{{ctx.watch_id}}",
      "client_url" : "http://www.example.org/",
      "contexts" : [
        {
          "type": "link",
          "href": "http://acme.pagerduty.com"
        },{
          "type": "link",
          "href": "http://acme.pagerduty.com",
          "text": "View the incident on {{ctx.payload.link}}"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

[[configuring-pagerduty]]
==== Configuring PagerDuty Accounts

You configure the accounts {watcher} uses to communicate with PagerDuty in 
the `xpack.notification.pagerduty` namespace in `elasticsearch.yml`.

To configure a PagerDuty account, you need the API integration key for
the PagerDuty service you want to send notifications to. To get the
key:

. Log in to http://pagerduty.com[pagerduty.com] as an account administrator.
. Go to **Configuration > Services** and select the PagerDuty service. The 
service must use the API integration.
+
image::images/pagerduty-services.jpg[]

. Click the **Integrations** tab and copy the API integration key.
+
image::images/pagerduty-integrations.jpg[]

To configure a PagerDuty account in `elasticsearch.yml`, at a minimum you
must specify an account name and integration key:

[source,yaml]
--------------------------------------------------
xpack.notification.pagerduty:
  account:
    my_pagerduty_account:
      service_api_key: d3b07384d113edec49eaa6238ad5ff0 
--------------------------------------------------

You can also specify defaults for the <<pagerduty-event-trigger-incident-attributes, 
PagerDuty event attributes>>:
.

[source,yaml]
--------------------------------------------------
xpack.notification.pagerduty:
  account:
    my_pagerduty_account:
      service_api_key: d3b07384d113edec49eaa6238ad5ff0 
      event_defaults:
        description: "Watch notification"
        incident_key: "my_incident_key"
        client: "my_client"
        client_url: http://www.example.org
        event_type: trigger
        attach_payload: true
--------------------------------------------------

If you configure multiple PagerDuty accounts, you either need to set a default 
account or specify which account the event should be sent with in the
<<actions-pagerduty, `pagerduty`>> action.

[source,yaml]
--------------------------------------------------
xpack.notification.pagerduty:
  default_account: team1 
  account:
    team1:
      ...
    team2:
      ...
--------------------------------------------------
