The latest News and Information on Incident Management, On-Call, Incident Response and related technologies.
At PagerDuty, we continually innovate every month (check out our What’s New page for the latest updates). But while we ship product continuously, we also save a plethora of new and improved capabilities to share with our customers at PagerDuty Summit, our annual customer event.
Opsgenie was built by real people who truly understood the pain of on-call, alert fatigue, and collaboration roadblocks. We empower our customers to resolve incidents faster by leveraging the tools they already use. As part of our mission to keep your always-on services up and running, we’ve worked with three key partners to strengthen the integrations we offer. It’s important that during an incident you can use the tools you’re accustomed to.
When PagerDuty’s VP of Product Management Rachel Obstler announced the beta version of our new Slack integration in April in her “Anticipating, Monitoring, and Managing Incidents via Slack” panel at Slack Frontiers, we expected significant interest in the integration among our customers.
I was reminiscing about an incident that happened at a past job with an old co-worker. You know the one, the one where you installed a library that makes some task of yours simple, only to reveal the library makes things worse. This incident in particular involved the way that images served out of our Ruby on Rails application, and the library that made it possible to “easily resize before serving” them.
How is the incident response process set up at your organization? At PagerDuty, our approach is to holistically look at your infrastructure, your customer-facing applications, and your products. We distinguish these by describing these items as “services” that roll up to and make up a “business service.” This setup allows teams to better manage these services so that when incidents do happen, responders can gain context much faster. But how?
Manual ticket creation can often be a pain. It’s difficult enough handling the barrage of alerts coming in, let alone opening tickets and copy/pasting their details into these tickets. In this post – we discuss a simple way to ease this pain, and share a video on how to do it.
