PagerDuty

Firefly integrates with PagerDuty to provide real-time notifications for critical infrastructure events, policy violations, and other important alerts. This integration enables teams to receive immediate notifications and manage incidents effectively through PagerDuty's incident management platform.

When integrating with PagerDuty, you have two primary methods:

• Integration Key.

• General Access REST API Key.

Prerequisites

• A PagerDuty account with administrative access.

• Appropriate permissions to generate integration keys or API keys.

• A configured PagerDuty service for receiving notifications.
