Event Analytics

View historical accepted events to monitor event volume and consumption

The Event Analytics report allows you to view historical accepted events in order to identify past trends in volume. This information can help pinpoint times of peak load, or troubleshoot greater-than-expected volumes.

For consumption-based billing accounts, this is the “billable accepted events” under your pricing plan. This data can help you anticipate yearly event volumes and monitor your event consumption relative to your yearly budget.

Availability

The Event Analytics report is available to all account plans and users.

Accepted Events

Accepted events are any valid events that are sent to and processed by PagerDuty via email integration or API with a successful 2XX response. The number of events should correlate with the number of 2XX responses you receive from the Events API.

This means that all events we accept are counted, including:

  • Events sent to Events API v1, Events API v2, x-ere, etc.
  • API events sent to a service key or a Global Orchestration
  • Email events
  • Trigger, resolve, acknowledge event actions
  • Deduplicated or suppressed events
  • Events sent to a service in maintenance mode
  • Events sent to a disabled service
  • Redundant resolves where a service continues to send resolves on the same incident
  • Events that are later dropped due to rules or customer event transformations

Events that are not counted include:

  • Events rejected at the API due to a rate limiting, throttling or an error
  • Events sent to deleted routing keys (integrations or orchestrations) — these do receive a 2XX response for security reasons
  • Change events
  • REST API calls
  • Incidents created through the REST API
