Alexander Reelsen fdb02f4f99 Watcher: Fix pagerduty action to send context data (elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch#3185)
The pagerduty action allows to send contexts, which contains an array
of texts or images, each with a link.

The field of this data was named 'context' instead of 'contexts' and
thus those contects were never correctly parsed on the pagerduty side.

Unfortunately pagerduty accepts any JSON, thus this was not caught so
far.

This commit allows parsing of the old field name to retain BWC, but when
written out via toXContent, it will always use the 'contexts' field name.

=== 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}}"
}
]
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------

You can configure defaults for the above values for the whole service using the
`xpack.notification.pagerduty.event_defaults.*` properties as well as
per account using `xpack.notification.pagerduty.account.your_account_name.event_defaults.*`
NOTE: All of those objects have templating support, so you can use data from the
context and the payload as part of all the fields.
[[pagerduty-event-trigger-context-attributes]]

==== 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:
...
--------------------------------------------------
