PagerDuty support, mostly reporting alerts

Project description

Very basic wrapper for PagerDuty API

Current functionality:

  • create trigger for known service key, with incident key,

  • handle all documented errors,

  • attach context (links, images) to trigger,

  • logging functionality to send alerts to PagerDuty facilities,

  • ability to add logging handler configurable from config dict,

TODO:

  • write tests for the above,

  • write examples on how it is done,

Possible further features:

  • other functionality (not only sending alerts, but also reading/changing other resources),

  • convenience shortcuts for various frameworks,

  • make pagerdutyapi do not have dependencies except six,

Logging configuration

Logging configuration can make use of this module. Sample dict config could look like this:

{
    'version': 1,
    'handlers': {
        'pagerduty': {
            'class': 'pagerdutyapi.handlers.PagerDutyHandler',
            'service_id': 'YOUR_SERVICE_ID',
            'level': 'ERROR',  # process only errors
        },
    },
    'loggers': {
        'pd_logger': {
            'propagate': True,  # call other loggers
            'handlers': ['pagerduty'],
        },
    },
}

And then you could use it like this:

import logging

logger = logging.getLogger('pd_logger')
logger.error(
    'Error level on instance %s above threshold: %s',
    instance_id,
    current_level,
)

where instance_id and current_level are some variables.

By default the incident will be created based on the template message (in this case “Error level on instance %s above threshold: %s”), so it is important to pass variable parts as positional arguments to logging method.

Alternatively you could pass incident_key specifically as part of extra param during logging call:

logger.error(
    'Error level on instance %s above threshold: %s',
    instance_id,
    current_level,
    extra={
        'incident_key': 'THRESHOLD_ALERTS_INSTANCE_{}'.format(instance_id),
    },
)

You can also override incident key during handler configuration:

{
    ...
    'handlers': {
        'pagerduty': {
            'class': 'pagerdutyapi.handlers.PagerDutyHandler',
            'service_id': 'YOUR_SERVICE_ID',
            'incident_key': 'YOUR_INCIDENT_KEY',  # override incident keys
            'level': 'ERROR',  # process only errors
        },
    },
    ...
}

This way, incident keys will be overwritten for all logging calls.
