The Datadog PagerDuty integration does not support the Datadog for Government site. Note: You can still send monitor notifications to PagerDuty.
Overview
Connect PagerDuty to Datadog in order to:
- Trigger and resolve incidents from your stream by mentioning
@pagerduty in your post - See incidents and escalations in your stream as they occur
- Get a daily reminder of who’s on-call
Setup
See the Datadog Integration Guide from Pagerduty.
Once you have Pagerduty integrated, you can check out Datadog’s custom Pagerduty Incident Trends.

Troubleshooting
To send a message or notification to a specific PagerDuty service when multiple services are integrated, use @pagerduty-[serviceName] in your monitor message. If you start typing it in your monitor Say what’s happening section, you should see it autocomplete.
When a monitor recovers, it automatically resolves the Pagerduty service if you include the notification handle in the monitor recover message but won’t if it’s only included in the{{#is_alert}} context.
The severity of PagerDuty incidents is determined by the status of the monitor that is causing the alert. The following table illustrates how the alert status is mapped to a PagerDuty incident severity.
| Monitor status | PagerDuty incident severity |
|---|
ALERT | error |
NODATA | error |
WARNING | warning |
OK or others | info |
For example, if the monitor transitions from OK to WARNING and notifies a @pagerduty-[serviceName], the created PagerDuty incident will be of severity warning.
Note: This mapping happens automatically, and cannot be modified.
Alert description truncated
Datadog has an upper limit on your monitor notification lengths sent to PagerDuty. The limit is at 1024 characters.
