Customizing PagerDuty Alerts

To customize event alerts sent to PagerDuty event sinks, use the @pagerduty. prefix for keys. For example, if you want to customize payload.source, use @pagerduty.payload.source as the key. Any keys prefixed with @pagerduty. will only be used for the PagerDuty alert. Any keys not prefixed with @pagerduty. will be routed to the payload.custom_details object.

See the for the request body information.

PagerDuty alerts will work without any custom formatting, as Scanner provides defaults for the following required/important keys:

Key
Default

payload.summary

{{@alert.name}}

payload.source

scanner.dev

payload.timestamp

{{@alert.timestamp}}

payload.severity

critical

event_action

trigger

dedup_key

{{@alert.detection_rule_id}}

routing_key

The integration key provided in the PagerDuty event sink configuration
