PagerDuty + Cmd Integration benefits
Notify on-call responders to high-priority Cmd alerts via PagerDuty.
Select which Cmd alert details are sent to PagerDuty (e.g. affected host, responsible user, trigger name, etc.).
How it works
After you integrate PagerDuty with Cmd, you can add the "Send PagerDuty alert" action to your Cmd triggers. When a trigger that includes this trigger action fires, you'll receive an alert in PagerDuty.
When viewing a Cmd alert in PagerDuty, you can easily follow a link to view more details in the Cmd web app.
Requirements
Before you can configure a PagerDuty integration at the project level, a global administrator from your team must enable it for your organization.

Integration walkthrough
In PagerDuty
From the Configuration menu, select Services.
There are two ways to add an integration to a service:
- If you are adding your integration to an existing service: Click the name of the service you want to add the integration to. Then, select the Integrations tab and click the New Integration button.
- If you are creating a new service for your integration: Please read PagerDuty's documentation on Configuring Services and Integrations and follow the steps outlined in the Create a New Service section. Under Integration Type, select Use our API directly, and Events API v1. Enter an Integration Name in the formatmonitoring-tool-service-name
(e.g. cmd-security-alerts). Select your desired Incident Settings, Incident Behavior, and Alert Grouping, then click Add Service, and navigate to your service's Integrations tab:
Copy your Integration Key for later use.
In Cmd
Open the dropdown menu in the upper-right, and go to Project & app settings.
Select Integrations preferences from the menu on the left, then select PagerDuty.
Click Add integration, then enter a name for your integration, and paste the Integration key from your new PagerDuty service.
Click Test integration, and Cmd will send a test alert to your new PagerDuty service.
Click Save. You can now add the "Send PagerDuty alert" action to your Cmd triggers.
How to uninstall
To delete the integration from PagerDuty, navigate to the service which receives Cmd alerts, click More in the upper-right, then select Delete Service.
To delete the integration from Cmd, go to Integrations preferences, select PagerDuty, then click the 3-dot menu to the right of the integration you wish to delete, and select Delete:
