We are excited to announce that Xitoring now supports PagerDuty integration, allowing you to send alerts and notifications directly to your PagerDuty account. This integration will greatly enhance your incident management capabilities and ensure that the right person is alerted during critical situations.

Here are some key benefits of the PagerDuty + Xitoring integration:

Notify on-call responders based on alerts sent from Xitoring: With this integration, Xitoring will seamlessly send notifications to PagerDuty, ensuring that the right on-call responder is immediately notified when an incident occurs.
Automatic incident resolution: Incidents in PagerDuty will automatically resolve when the metric and status in Xitoring return to normal. This bidirectional synchronization between the two platforms saves time and ensures that you stay on top of any issues.

So, how does it work?

Xitoring will send an event to a service in PagerDuty whenever downtime or anomalies are detected. This immediate notification ensures that your team can quickly respond and address the issue at hand. Additionally, when your server or metric is back up, Xitoring will send an event to PagerDuty to automatically resolve the incident.

To make use of this integration, you will need a paid account or trial account on Xitoring. We’ve provided a detailed integration walkthrough in our documentation to guide you through the process.

If you encounter any issues or need assistance with this integration, our support team is here to help. Simply reach out to [email protected] or submit a ticket, and we’ll get back to you promptly.

To enable PagerDuty integration, navigate to the Notification Roles section in Xitoring. Select your desired notification role, enable PagerDuty, and provide the generated Integration Key. We recommend using the “Send a test notification” function to ensure that the integration is working properly.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates and integrations from Xitoring! We are constantly working to improve our platform and provide you with the best monitoring and incident management experience.
