The refreshed Schedules List UI is now live
The Schedules List UI refresh is now generally available on all accounts. This new visual experience helps you find the information you need easier and faster while giving you more flexibility. Additionally, this page now allows for:

• Enhanced search functionality
• Toggling between all schedules and team schedules
• Collapsing or expanding information based on the level of detail needed
• Easier schedule comparison with time windows displayed
• Streamlined view of on-call responders with shift times

Now ramping: Status update notification templates
Status update notification templates allow you to add the content and context you need for internal communications during incident response. Add logos and hosted third party images as well as format the text to company communication standards. Easily include incident details with a drop down menu that populates key information as needed. This feature has started ramping to customers and should reach all customers by mid June.

New SMS Formatting Standard for Incident Notifications
Starting May 23, PagerDuty will begin standardizing the way that incident notifications are formatted for SMS. Going forward, all SMS incident notifications (including status updates) will start with the prefix [PagerDuty]. Read the Knowledge Base article for more information.

New version of PagerDuty App for Splunk
The latest release of the PagerDuty App for Splunk (v 4.0.1) is now GA.

Maximum Open Incidents Per Service Set to 100K
There is a new product maximum of 100,000 open incidents allowed per service. With this change, services with over 100K open incidents will automatically have the auto-resolve setting enabled and set to 24 hours. This means that any new incidents on those services will be automatically resolved after they have been open for 24 hours and no further notifications will be sent for those incidents.

Most customers will see no impact. If you do run into this, it’s important to note that too many open incidents on a service is an indicator that your PagerDuty configuration could be optimized. To reduce the open incident count, we recommend using the update an incident API to bulk resolve incidents. Additionally, you can use this script for an automated way to bulk resolve incidents.

Update to Manage Incidents API
We’ve added two new product limits to the manage incidents endpoint to provide a better customer experience:

• Maximum number of requests per minute to the endpoint will be limited to 500.
• Maximum number of incidents that can be updated per API request will be set to 250 (previous limit was 500).
  We recommend that impacted customers update their scripts to disperse incidents updates out across a longer period of time. Please refer to our API documentation for more information.

Copy/Paste Event Orchestration Rules Now Available!
Users can now “copy” any Service Orchestration rule and then “paste” that rule into any Service Orchestration! With this feature, users can reuse rule conditions & actions, while still having the ability to tweak those conditions/actions for each specific service/orchestration. See the knowledge base article for [more information]. (https://support.pagerduty.com/docs/event-orchestration)

Event Orchestration + PagerDuty Automation Actions Integration
The integration between Event Orchestration and PagerDuty Automation Actions is live. By combining nested event orchestration with machine learning and precise, targeted automation triggers means that it’s possible to action an incident before responders even get paged. This integration helps teams automate common diagnostics and enable self-healing for recurring and well-understood types of incidents, resulting in reduced MTTR and escalations to specialists.

Safelist PagerDuty’s Webhooks IP Addresses
Starting on May 5, 2022, the official list of IP addresses that PagerDuty uses to send Webhooks calls will be provided on this page. Please safelist these IP addresses to ensure service continuity.

New AWS Plugins for Automated Diagnostics
By providing first-responders with diagnostic data that is typically only retrievable by domain-experts, the need to pull in more people for troubleshooting incidents is reduced significantly. New AWS plugins make it easier to get up and running with auto-diagnostics fast! Plugins with CloudWatch Logs retrieve diagnostic data from AWS infrastructure and applications. Systems Manager plugin allows users to manage their global VM footprint with security best-practices. Request a demo to learn more.

July 2021

Slack V2 Next Generation - now generally available
With the new one-click webhook migration, PagerDuty admins can now easily connect channels to PagerDuty teams and streamline their stakeholder communication. Teams can also reduce incident channel noise, based on priority and urgency. Responders can quickly collaborate and create an incident update from the Slack incident notification. Once an incident update has been created, stakeholders can keep tabs in a dedicated stakeholder channel.

Change Correlation
Change Correlation surfaces the changes that most likely caused an incident, so responders can eliminate irrelevant changes and identify the root cause quickly.

Outlier Incident
Flag anomalous incidents using historical data, and identify them as rare, anomalous or frequent so responders can focus on issues that may be more challenging to resolve, or address frequent alerts for automated remediation and performance improvements.

Custom Change Event Transformer
Turn any change event in any format from any of your integrated tools into a PagerDuty change event. Your responders will now have more context to know what changes occurred so they can find the root cause of incidents faster.

Past Incidents on Mobile
View past resolved incidents that have similar metadata and were generated on the same service as the current active incident. Get helpful context for accurate triage and to reduce resolution time. Responders can see whether they or someone on their team had been involved in a previous incident, when these types of incidents have happened, and dive into incident details to discover what remediation steps were taken in the past, all on their mobile device.

Stakeholder Updates in ChatOps
Enable responders to provide incident status updates to subscribers and stakeholders without interrupting incident remediation. Adding Business Response functionality to Slack and MS Teams increases feature accessibility, promotes incident visibility, and minimizes context switching.

Webhooks V3
Webhooks V3 provides a webhook format that is much smaller than previous formats to ensure the webhook will not grow arbitrarily large and can be processed quickly without the risk of getting dropped. Another exciting enhancement is that the status updates event type is now available with Webhooks V3.

• Webhooks V1 and V2 are being deprecated on November 13, 2021 and March 31, 2022 respectively. Learn more about it here.

If you are an existing user, you will notice a change in your PagerDuty login experience: you will now need to select the service region in which your account resides prior to logging in.

New Service Create Flow
Streamlines service setup in the UI. This simple and intuitive step flow guides all users, including those that are new or less familiar with PagerDuty, through the process of setting up a well configured service. Users will have the confidence that they've completed service set-up according to their configuration needs and that their service is ready to use.

April 2021

Zendesk Status Dashboard
We are delighted to announce a new Status Dashboard for the Zendesk Customer Service integration. The dashboard enables customer service agents to have real-time visibility into major incidents that are impacting their customers right within Zendesk, so they can proactively update customers when an incident occurs.

Service Profile Enhancements
Now you can take action on incidents directly from the service profile to accelerate response, root cause analysis, and remediation activities. Perform bulk actions including acknowledge or resolve, search by incident ID, add and view change integrations, browse resolved incidents, view related escalation policies from the service profile header, and more.

Past and Related Incidents API
Extract past and related incidents data via APIs and extend your Event Intelligence capabilities through our new APIs that enable you to connect and analyze all the incident data in your systems. Using an incident ID, you can receive past incidents to provide historical context and accelerate triage to build awareness of the full breadth of incident impact.

Unfurling Analytics Insights Links in Slack
Users can now copy and paste the Curated Insights URL from PagerDuty Analytics into Slack and see the link preview directly within Slack (in both #channels and direct messages). Allowing the link to “unfurl” a visual directly in Slack makes report sharing easier and empowers more data-driven decision making and collaboration.

March 2021

Add Responder Notification Rules
High-urgency notification rules will now apply to both incident assignments and responder requests. Never miss a request and fail to join an incident during a response ever again! We're gradually releasing this to all PagerDuty customers until 15 April 2021.

Custom Change Event Transformer
Send change events from any system using our Custom Change Event Transformer. Turn an event in any format from your integrated tools into a PagerDuty change event with no additional infrastructure on your side. Responders will now have more context to know what changes occurred so they can find the root cause of incidents faster.

PagerDuty’s ServiceNow Integration
PagerDuty's ServiceNow integration is certified for the Quebec release. PagerDuty’s integration with ServiceNow has now been certified to work with "Quebec". Quebec is scheduled for general availability this quarter.

Webhook delivery IPs are changing

This integration is a key part of our PagerDuty for Customer Service solution.

Dynamic Field Enrichment and Extraction [All plans]

Arming responders with the right context will accelerate incident triage and prevent wasted time during an outage. That’s why we now allow you to add important context to your incident summary using alert content, so responders can act quickly. In addition to accelerating incident triage, manipulating alert format allows you to be more prescriptive when you group alerts based on alert content.

Extended Acknowledgements Reduce Escalations [All plans]

We’ve made it easier to ensure that responder requests get accepted and don’t escalate. Acknowledging an incident where you have a pending responder request will now also accept the responder request. One click, two actions! Extended Acknowledgements are now generally available.

Change Events [All plans]

Send change events from a variety of systems to PagerDuty, so that responders and service owners can discover contributing factors that may have caused incidents and get to resolution faster. This includes code changes via a continuous software delivery process, like GitHub or GitLab, and infrastructure change orchestration systems like BuildKite or Relay by Puppet.

On-Call Readiness Reports [All plans]

Help properly set up teams so they can successfully deliver on their on-call responsibilities. Leverage these reports to improve your on-call posture and track your progress toward organizational readiness. Proper team assembly can reduce resolution times and improve your organization’s ability to respond to incidents.

Add on-demand Microsoft Teams meeting to incidents [All plans]
From within Microsoft Teams, you can now quickly add an on-demand/dynamic Teams meeting to a PagerDuty incident.

Audit Trail API [Business+]
Get operational visibility and compliance to aid in understanding what changes were made that led to a missed incident. Previously, to investigate configuration problems, you needed to contact your PagerDuty account team or Customer Support.

Content-based Alert Grouping (v1) [Digital Ops +, add-ons]

If you work with predictable, homogenous alert data, you can now customize how alerts are grouped without having to train the algorithm on your specific data. This allows you to configure grouping based on your preferred, user-defined fields (multi-select). Alerts that share an exact match on the selected field will be grouped together into the most recent open incident.

Visibility Console [Business+]

If you’re on the Business Plan, you now have access to a version of the Visibility Console that allows for a single dashboard. The Visibility Console provides an interactive view of your digital operations to provide everyone on your team with information about your systems and their health at any time. For example, your teams can use the dashboard to prepare for an upcoming on-call shift, coordinate a number of ongoing incidents, and mitigate risks before a time-sensitive, critical business event.

September 2020

Technical Service Dependencies for Triage [All plans]

A streamlined interface for rapid definition and mapping of upstream/downstream technical and business service dependencies and relations between them, with low-effort maintenance. Technical service dependencies are highlighted directly on the Incident Details page during triage to provide situational context, help teams collaborate quickly, and take the right actions to resolve issues.

Dependency-Aware Related Incidents [All plans]

Technical service dependencies are suggested via machine learning, and like user-defined dependencies, are highlighted directly within the Incident Details page during triage to help teams avoid blind spots, and expedite incident resolution.

ServiceNow Integration v7 [Business, Digital Ops]

The updated ServiceNow integration helps customers get more value from their investments in ServiceNow and PagerDuty by leveraging new, bi-directional functionality like running a PagerDuty response play in ServiceNow, or posting a Call to Action from ServiceNow to the PagerDuty Incident details page, providing users with live status updates.

Visibility Console Service Activity Module [Digital Ops]

Help NOC teams increase operational visibility by surfacing patterns in service activity —and their scale— across the entire digital operations portfolio.

August 2020

Improvements

Aug. 14 — Paused Incident Notifications

As a new Rulesets feature, paused incident notifications allows rules to be set to create alerts, but pause incident creation and notifications for a predefined amount of time. During the pause period, new alerts will be viewable in the Alerts table with a Suspended status. These suspended alerts have new actions, allowing users to Trigger an incident from the alert during the pause period, or Resolve the alert, preventing the incident and its notifications from being created altogether.

Aug. 4 — Visibility Console: Service Activity Module

The Service Activity module allows users to see incident activity across a multitude of their services at once, so that they can quickly understand their digital operations health, and identify if there’s a widespread major incident. It is ordered by most recently impacted service and will reorder itself when new incidents are triggered. It has different time windows so eyes on glass teams can monitor their digital operations in real-time, but can also see service activity in the last 24 hours. This module can be filtered to any set of teams and services.

Aug. 21 — Status Update Notification Preferences

Configure notification preferences for status updates when subscribed to an incident.

Integrations

Aug. 21 – ServiceNow Integration Update

The updated ServiceNow Integration allows users to run Response Plays, post status updates and set the impacted Business Service on a PagerDuty incident all from the ServiceNow interface. Administrators can perform Assignment Group and priority mapping to PagerDuty escalation policies and provision Business and technical services along with their dependency relationships. Additionally, this version allows users to author custom code for outbound REST API calls and it comes with MID server support.
