Scout ♥ Pagerduty
The only thing worse than being woken up by a critical alert: not being woken up when you should be. That’s where Pagerduty comes in—Pagerduty uses a combination of email, SMS, and phone calls to you and your team to ensure you never miss an important notification.
And now, Scout has baked-in support for notifications via PagerDuty. Scout can automatically create incidents when a trigger fires, and automatically resolve it too.
”Getting Scout alerts though Pagerduty works great. Setting it up was completely seamless.”—T.R. Missner, Firespotter Labs
Setup is Easy
Assuming you already have a Pagerduty account, integration is ridiculously easy:
- make sure you’re logged into Scout as an administrator.
- click on “Notifications”, then “Connect to PagerDuty.”
- You’ll be redirected to Pagerduty’s website. Enter your Pagerduty credentials and select the service to associate with Scout:
And you’re done! There’s no API key to copy / paste. If you ever need to disconnect, just click “disconnect” in Scout.
