PagerDuty is a key monitoring and alerting component that we use org wide for Engineering Teams. The specific business problems that we address by using PagerDuty are
1. Org Wide alerting for critical components like error handling, out-of-memory detections etc
2. Infra based alerts to identify areas where load is a lot, for example if there are excessive arguments on an sidekiq queue
3. Low priority alerting of components as well
1. Org Wide alerting for critical components like error handling, out-of-memory detections etc
2. Infra based alerts to identify areas where load is a lot, for example if there are excessive arguments on an sidekiq queue
3. Low priority alerting of components as well
- Alerting when Infra load becomes a lot eg, Sidekiq Arguments exceeding, Chewy Imports error
- Manually Setup triggers for excessively running jobs
- Error Based Handling based on team for appropriate routing and paging
- Setup of teams, schedules, escalation policies with clear paths of instructions
Cons
- More capabilities in the Mobile App
- Search capabilities on incidents based on team and user-defined properties
