How to send alerts & notifications from Logit.io to PagerDuty

It only takes a few minutes to add alerting to any of your Logit.io stacks. Once enabled, you'll be able to edit and set up alerting rules for all your stacks.

Provision Alerting for a Stack

To enable alerting for a stack, navigate to Alerting & Notifications settings and then click Enable Alerting.

Create your Alerting Rule

Use the code block below to quickly get started with your Pagerduty alert.

name: Production App Errors
 
type: any
 
# (Required)
# Index to search, wildcard supported
 
index: logstash-*
 
## Receive an alert for every single match
 
realert:
  minutes: 0
 
# (Required)
# A list of elasticsearch filters used for find events
# These filters are joined with AND and nested in a filtered query
 
filter:
- query:
    query_string:
      query: "type: error"
 
# (Required)
# The alert used when a match is found
 
alert:
- "pagerduty"
 
# Integration Key generated by PagerDuty
pagerduty_service_key: your_pagerduty_service_key
 
# The name of the monitoring client that is triggering this event
pagerduty_client_name: your_pagerduty_client_name

How to use the code

1. Paste the code into the alert replacing any existing rule.
2. Then just edit the code to match the filter query you need, in this case we are looking for matches on "type:error".
3. Choose test to run the rule against your data over the last 2 hrs.
4. Once happy, choose update to apply and save the rule.

Now you're all set to send Pagerduty alerts from Logit.io.
