The PagerDuty output will send notifications based on pre-configured services and escalation policies. Logstash can send "trigger", "acknowledge" and "resolve" event types. In addition, you may configure custom descriptions and event details. The only required field is the PagerDuty "Service API Key", which can be found on the service’s web page on pagerduty.com. In the default case, the description and event details will be populated by Logstash, usingmessage,timestamp andhost data.

This plugin supports the following configuration options plus theCommon options described later.

Also seeCommon options for a list of options supported by all output plugins.

• Value type isstring
• Default value is"Logstash event for %{{host}}"

Custom description

• Value type ishash
• Default value is{"timestamp"=>"%{@timestamp}", "message"=>"%{{message}}"}

The event details. These might be data from the Logstash event fields you wish to include. Tags are automatically included if detected so there is no need to explicitly add them here.

• Value can be any of:trigger,acknowledge,resolve
• Default value is"trigger"

Event type

• Value type isstring
• Default value is"logstash/%{{host}}/%{{type}}"

The service key to use. You’ll need to set this up in PagerDuty beforehand.

• Value type isstring
• Default value is"https://events.pagerduty.com/generic/2010-04-15/create_event.json"

PagerDuty API URL. You shouldn’t need to change this, but is included to allow for flexibility should PagerDuty iterate the API and Logstash hasn’t been updated yet.

• This is a required setting.
• Value type isstring
• There is no default value for this setting.

The PagerDuty Service API Key

These configuration options are supported by all output plugins:

• Value type iscodec
• Default value is"plain"

The codec used for output data. Output codecs are a convenient method for encoding your data before it leaves the output without needing a separate filter in your Logstash pipeline.

• Value type isboolean
• Default value istrue

Disable or enable metric logging for this specific plugin instance. By default we record all the metrics we can, but you can disable metrics collection for a specific plugin.

• Value type isstring
• There is no default value for this setting.

Add a uniqueID to the plugin configuration. If no ID is specified, Logstash will generate one. It is strongly recommended to set this ID in your configuration. This is particularly useful when you have two or more plugins of the same type. For example, if you have 2 pagerduty outputs. Adding a named ID in this case will help in monitoring Logstash when using the monitoring APIs.

output {  pagerduty {    id => "my_plugin_id"  }}
