Intro

PagerDuty is an operations performance platform designed to make businesses more reliable by eliminating the chaos across the entire operations lifecycle. Use Domo's PagerDuty connector to get reports about schedule management, alerting, and incident tracking. To learn more about the PagerDuty API, visit their website (https://developer.pagerduty.com/documentation/rest).

This is the simplified version of this connector, which allows you to simply pull data for a previous month instead of specifying a date range. There is also an advanced version of the connector, which provides options for setting up a date range. For more information, see PagerDuty Advanced Connector.

You connect to your PagerDuty account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the PagerDuty connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Prerequisites

To connect to your PagerDuty account and create a DataSet, you must have the following:

The API key for your PagerDuty account. For information about generating a PagerDuty API key, see https://support.pagerduty.com/hc/en-us/articles/202829310-Generating-an-API-Key.
The domain for your PagerDuty URL. For example, if your PagerDuty URL was domo.pagerduty.com, you would enter domo as the domain.

Connecting to Your PagerDuty Account

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the PagerDuty Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Credentials Pane

This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your PagerDuty account. The following table describes what is needed for each field:

Field	Description
API Key	Enter the API Key for your PagerDuty account.
Domain	Enter the domain for your PagerDuty URL.

For information about obtaining these credentials, see "Prerequisites," above.

Once you have entered valid PagerDuty credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new PagerDuty DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.

Details Pane

This pane contains a primary menu from which you can select a report, along with various other fields and menus that may or may not appear depending on your selected report.
