PagerDuty

Our PagerDuty integration allows you to import schedules, oncalls, services and incidents from your PagerDuty account into Port, according to your mapping and definitions.

Common use cases

  • Map schedules, oncalls, services and incidents in your PagerDuty organization environment.
  • Watch for object changes (create/update/delete) in real-time, and automatically apply the changes to your entities in Port.

Prerequisites

To install the integration, you need a Kubernetes cluster that the integration's container chart will be deployed to.

Please make sure that you have kubectl and helm installed on your machine, and that your kubectl CLI is connected to the Kubernetes cluster where you plan to install the integration.

Troubleshooting

If you are having trouble installing this integration, please refer to these troubleshooting steps.

Installation

Choose one of the following installation methods:

Using this installation option means that the integration will be able to update Port in real time using webhooks.

This table summarizes the available parameters for the installation. Set them as you wish in the script below, then copy it and run it in your terminal:

Ingesting PagerDuty objects

The PagerDuty integration uses a YAML configuration to describe the process of loading data into the developer portal. See examples below.

The integration makes use of the JQ JSON processor to select, modify, concatenate, transform and perform other operations on existing fields and values from PagerDuty's API events.

Configuration structure

The integration configuration determines which resources will be queried from PagerDuty, and which entities and properties will be created in Port.

Supported resources

The following resources can be used to map data from PagerDuty, it is possible to reference any field that appears in the API responses linked below for the mapping configuration.

  • The root key of the integration configuration is the resources key:

    resources:
    - kind: services
    selector:
    ...
  • The kind key is a specifier for a PagerDuty object:

      resources:
    - kind: services
    selector:
    ...
  • The selector and the query keys allow you to filter which objects of the specified kind will be ingested into your software catalog:

    resources:
    - kind: services
    selector:
    query: "true" # JQ boolean expression. If evaluated to false - this object will be skipped.
    port:
  • The port, entity and the mappings keys are used to map the PagerDuty object fields to Port entities. To create multiple mappings of the same kind, you can add another item in the resources array;

    resources:
    - kind: services
    selector:
    query: "true"
    port:
    entity:
    mappings: # Mappings between one PagerDuty object to a Port entity. Each value is a JQ query.
    identifier: .id
    title: .name
    blueprint: '"pagerdutyService"'
    properties:
    status: .status
    - kind: service # In this instance service is mapped again with a different filter
    selector:
    query: '.name == "MyProjectName"'
    port:
    entity:
    mappings: ...
    Blueprint key

    Note the value of the blueprint key - if you want to use a hardcoded string, you need to encapsulate it in 2 sets of quotes, for example use a pair of single-quotes (') and then another pair of double-quotes (")

Ingest data into Port

To ingest PagerDuty objects using the integration configuration, you can follow the steps below:

  1. Go to the DevPortal Builder page.
  2. Select a blueprint you want to ingest using PagerDuty.
  3. Choose the Ingest Data option from the menu.
  4. Select PagerDuty under the Incident management category.
  5. Modify the configuration according to your needs.
  6. Click Resync.

Ingesting service analytics

To enrich your PagerDuty service entities with analytics data, follow the steps below:

  1. Update the service blueprint to include analytics properties. You can add any property that is returned from the PagerDuty aggregated service analytics API

    Updated service blueprint
    {
    "identifier":"pagerdutyService",
    "description":"This blueprint represents a PagerDuty service in our software catalog",
    "title":"PagerDuty Service",
    "icon":"pagerduty",
    "schema":{
    "properties":{
    "status":{
    "title":"Status",
    "type":"string"
    },
    "url":{
    "title":"URL",
    "type":"string",
    "format":"url"
    },
    "oncall":{
    "title":"On Call",
    "type":"array",
    "items":{
    "type":"string",
    "format":"user"
    }
    },
    "meanSecondsToResolve":{
    "title":"Mean Seconds to Resolve",
    "type":"number"
    },
    "meanSecondsToFirstAck":{
    "title":"Mean Seconds to First Acknowledge",
    "type":"number"
    },
    "meanSecondsToEngage":{
    "title":"Mean Seconds to Engage",
    "type":"number"
    },
    "totalIncidentCount":{
    "title":"Total Incident Count",
    "type":"number"
    },
    "totalIncidentsAcknowledged":{
    "title":"Total Incidents Acknowledged",
    "type":"number"
    },
    "totalIncidentsAutoResolved":{
    "title":"Total Incidents Auto Resolved",
    "type":"number"
    },
    "totalIncidentsManualEscalated":{
    "title":"Total Incident Manual Escalated",
    "type":"number"
    }
    },
    "required":[]
    },
    "mirrorProperties":{},
    "calculationProperties":{},
    "relations":{}
    }
  2. Add serviceAnalytics property to the integration selector key. When set to true, the integration will fetch data from the PagerDuty aggregated service analytics API and ingest it to Port. By default, this property is set to true.

    Also, by default, the integration aggregates the analytics over a period of 3 months. Use the analyticsMonthsPeriod filter to override this date range. The accepted values are positive number between 1 to 12. In the provided example below, we aggregate the analytics over the past 6 months.

    resources:
    - kind: services
    selector:
    query: "true"
    serviceAnalytics: "true"
    analyticsMonthsPeriod: 6
    port:
    entity:
    mappings:
    identifier: .id
    title: .name
    blueprint: '"pagerdutyService"'
    properties:
    status: .status
    url: .html_url
    oncall: "[.__oncall_user[].user.email]"
  3. Establish a mapping between the analytics properties and the service analytics data response. Following a convention, the aggregated result of the PagerDuty service analytics API is saved to the __analytics key and merged with the response of the service API. Consequently, users can access specific metrics such as the mean seconds to resolve by referencing __analytics.mean_seconds_to_resolve.

    resources:
    - kind: services
    selector:
    query: "true"
    serviceAnalytics: "true"
    analyticsMonthsPeriod: 6
    port:
    entity:
    mappings:
    identifier: .id
    title: .name
    blueprint: '"pagerdutyService"'
    properties:
    status: .status
    url: .html_url
    oncall: "[.__oncall_user[].user.email]"
    meanSecondsToResolve: .__analytics.mean_seconds_to_resolve
  4. Below is the complete integration configuration for enriching the service blueprint with analytics data.

    totalIncidentsManualEscalated: .__analytics.total_incidents_manual_escalated

Ingesting incident analytics

To enrich your PagerDuty incident entities with analytics data, follow the steps below:

  1. Update the incident blueprint to include an analytics property.

    Updated incident blueprint
    {
    "identifier": "pagerdutyIncident",
    "description": "This blueprint represents a PagerDuty incident in our software catalog",
    "title": "PagerDuty Incident",
    "icon": "pagerduty",
    "schema": {
    "properties": {
    "status": {
    "type": "string",
    "title": "Incident Status",
    "enum": [
    "triggered",
    "annotated",
    "acknowledged",
    "reassigned",
    "escalated",
    "reopened",
    "resolved"
    ]
    },
    "url": {
    "type": "string",
    "format": "url",
    "title": "Incident URL"
    },
    "urgency": {
    "type": "string",
    "title": "Incident Urgency",
    "enum": ["high", "low"]
    },
    "responder": {
    "type": "string",
    "title": "Assignee"
    },
    "escalation_policy": {
    "type": "string",
    "title": "Escalation Policy"
    },
    "created_at": {
    "title": "Create At",
    "type": "string",
    "format": "date-time"
    },
    "updated_at": {
    "title": "Updated At",
    "type": "string",
    "format": "date-time"
    },
    "analytics": {
    "title": "Analytics",
    "type": "object"
    }
    },
    "required": []
    },
    "mirrorProperties": {},
    "calculationProperties": {},
    "relations": {
    "pagerdutyService": {
    "title": "PagerDuty Service",
    "target": "pagerdutyService",
    "required": false,
    "many": true
    }
    }
    }
  2. Add incidentAnalytics property to the integration selector key. When set to true, the integration will fetch data from the PagerDuty Analytics API and ingest it to Port. By default, this property is set to false.

    resources:
    - kind: incidents
    selector:
    query: "true"
    incidentAnalytics: "true"
    port:
    entity:
    mappings:
    identifier: .id | tostring
    title: .title
    blueprint: '"pagerdutyIncident"'
    properties:
    status: .status
    url: .self
  3. Establish a mapping between the analytics blueprint property and the analytics data response.

    resources:
    - kind: incidents
    selector:
    query: "true"
    incidentAnalytics: "true"
    port:
    entity:
    mappings:
    identifier: .id | tostring
    title: .title
    blueprint: '"pagerdutyIncident"'
    properties:
    status: .status
    url: .self
    urgency: .urgency
    responder: .assignments[0].assignee.summary
    escalation_policy: .escalation_policy.summary
    created_at: .created_at
    updated_at: .updated_at
    analytics: .__analytics
    relations:
    pagerdutyService: .service.id
  4. Below is the complete integration configuration for enriching the incident blueprint with analytics data.

Alternative installation via webhook

While the Ocean integration described above is the recommended installation method, you may prefer to use a webhook to ingest data from PagerDuty. If so, use the following instructions:

Webhook installation (click to expand)

In this example you are going to create a webhook integration between PagerDuty and Port, which will ingest PagerDuty services and its related incidents into Port. This integration will involve setting up a webhook to receive notifications from PagerDuty whenever an incident is created or updated, allowing Port to ingest and process the incident entities accordingly.

Import PagerDuty services and incidents

Port configuration

Create the following blueprint definitions:

tip

In order to view the different events available in PagerDuty webhooks, look here

Done! any change that happens to your services or incidents in PagerDuty will trigger a webhook event to the webhook URL provided by Port. Port will parse the events according to the mapping and update the catalog entities accordingly.

Let's Test It

This section includes a sample webhook event sent from PagerDuty when an incident is created or updated. In addition, it includes the entity created from the event based on the webhook configuration provided in the previous section.

Payload

Here is an example of the payload structure sent to the webhook URL when a PagerDuty incident is created:

Webhook event payload

Mapping Result

The combination of the sample payload and the webhook configuration generates the following Port entity:

{
"identifier": "Q01J2OS7YBWLNY",
"title": "Test PagerDuty Incident",
"blueprint": "pagerdutyIncident",
"team": [],
"properties": {
"status": "triggered",

},
"relations": {
"microservice": "PWJAGSD"
}
}

Import PagerDuty historical data

In this example you are going to use the provided Bash script to fetch data from the PagerDuty API and ingest it to Port.

The script extracts services and incidents from PagerDuty, and sends them to Port as microservice and incident entities respectively.

Port configuration

This example utilizes the same blueprint definition from the previous section, along with a new webhook configuration:

Create the following webhook configuration using Port UI

PagerDuty webhook configuration for historical data
  1. Basic details tab - fill the following details:

    1. Title : PagerDuty History Mapper;
    2. Identifier : pagerduty_history_mapper;
    3. Description : A webhook configuration to map PagerDuty Historical services and its related incidents to Port;
    4. Icon : Pagerduty;
  2. Integration configuration tab - fill the following JQ mapping:

    [
    {
    "blueprint": "microservice",
    "filter": ".body.event.event_type | startswith(\"service\")",
    "entity": {
    "identifier": ".body.event.data.identifier",
    "title": ".body.event.data.title",
    "properties": {
    "status": ".body.event.data.properties.status"
    }
    }
    },
    {
    "blueprint": "pagerdutyIncident",
    "filter": ".body.event.event_type | startswith(\"incident\")",
    "entity": {
    "identifier": ".body.event.data.identifier",
    "title": ".body.event.data.title",
    "properties": {
    "status": ".body.event.data.properties.status",
    "url": ".body.event.data.properties.url",
    "details": ".body.event.data.properties.details",
    "priority": ".body.event.data.properties.priority",
    "urgency": ".body.event.data.properties.urgency",
    "responder": ".body.event.data.properties.responder",
    "escalation_policy": ".body.event.data.properties.escalation_policy"
    },
    "relations": {
    "microservice": ".body.event.data.relations.microservice"
    }
    }
    }
    ]
  3. Scroll down to Advanced settings and input the following details:

    1. secret: WEBHOOK_SECRET;
    2. Signature Header Name : X-Pagerduty-Signature;
    3. Signature Algorithm : Select sha256 from dropdown option;
    4. Signature Prefix : v1=
    5. Click Save at the bottom of the page.

Remember to update the WEBHOOK_SECRET with the real secret you receive after subscribing to the webhook in PagerDuty.

How to Run the script

This script requires two configuration values:

  1. PD_TOKEN: your PagerDuty API token;
  2. PORT_URL: your Port webhook URL.

Then trigger the script by running:

bash pagerduty_to_port.sh

This script fetches services and incidents from PagerDuty and sends them to Port.

tip

The script writes the JSON payload for each service and incident to a file named output.json. This can be useful for debugging if you encounter any issues.

Done! you can now import historical data from PagerDuty into Port. Port will parse the events according to the mapping and update the catalog entities accordingly.
