Business ServicesThe Business Service(s) mapped to each service.
ServiceThe service name.
TeamThe Team each service belongs to. Teams allow users to group and control user access to associated PagerDuty objects, such as escalation policies, users, schedules and services.
Response EffortThe total engaged time across all responders, measured from the time a responder acknowledges or accepts a responder request until the incident is resolved.
IncidentsThe total count of incidents that occurred on the service within the specified time period.
UptimeThe inverse of the time (in %) during which the service had an active major incident. A major incident is defined as the top two levels of your priority settings, or if multiple responders are added and acknowledge.
NotificationsThe total count of incident notifications sent via push, email, phone call and SMS.
MTTRThe average time from when an incident was created until it was resolved.
MTTAThe average time between when an incident is first assigned to a user and when the incident is first acknowledged by that user. Reassign, resolve, and escalation actions do not imply acknowledgement.
Average Engaged RespondersThe average number of responders engaged in an incident.

By default, the Services List display 10 results at a time. Use the dropdown below the table to select from 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 results per page. If there are more results than the selected dropdown value, you can use the arrows (i.e., , , , ) to navigate through results.

Teams Filter Behavior

  • When you apply a Teams filter, results for subsequently added filter values will change to reflect objects associated with the selected Team(s). Example: If you add a Teams filter to return results for Team A, and then add a Services filter, you will only be able to select services associated with Team A.
  • If you apply a Teams filter after applying another filter that has a value not associated with that Team, the Teams filter will remove the value for the previous filter. Example: If you add a Services filter for Service B, and then you apply a Teams filter for Team A (not associated with Service B), then Service B will be removed from the Services filter value.

Edit or Remove Filters

To edit or remove a filter:

Filter Limits

Each report has the following filter limits:

  • Service, Responder, and Escalation Policy Filters: 1000
  • Team Filter: 200

When the count of filtered objects goes over the limit, the list will grey out and you can no longer select/deselect individual objects. You will need to click Clear at the top of the filter list in order to select filters again.

If you think you will overshoot the limit, we recommend:

  1. Use the Team filter first to reduce the number of Escalation Policies/Services/Responders.
  2. Once the list is below 1000, you can deselect from there.

Share a Report

There are two ways to share Insights reports:

Export CSV

📘

Export Size Limit

Depending on your pricing plan, there is a limit to the number of rows you can export.

If your exported report exactly matches the limit, it is likely that your data has been truncated. You can reference your report in the PagerDuty web app to see the total count (e.g., Total Incidents). We recommend adding filters, or adjusting the date range, to reduce results, and exporting in batches as needed.

Pricing PlanExport Limit
Professional, Business100,000 rows
Enterprise Incident Management, Digital Operations(legacy)250,000 rows

To export a report as a .csv file, click Export CSV to generate a file, which will keep the view and results based on your search and filter selections.
