PagerDuty Events Client for Java

PagerDuty Events Client aims to provide a full-fledged Java client which is easy to use and integrates seamlessly with PagerDuty Events API. Note that the library does not integrate with PagerDuty REST Api - it is only meant for PagerDuty Events API. Please refer to the following link to see the differences between PagerDuty REST API and Events API:

What is the difference between PagerDuty APIs?

Getting started

PagerDutyEventsClient is really easy to create. The static method exposed with no parameters will create a new client which internally will default the API calls to PagerDuty Events API (events.pagerduty.com). Please note that as per PagerDUty Events documentation there is no need to use an ApiAccessKey to make calls to the events API - the service token is sufficient to trigger/acknowledge/resolve incidents.

An example on how to create the clients is as follows:

PagerDutyEventsClient pagerDutyEventsClient = PagerDutyEventsClient.create();

The library supports the creation of three different type of incidents. For your reference, below are examples on how to create each incident type as well as how to use PagerDutyEventsClient to perform the according operation:

• Trigger: This will send a new 'trigger' incident to PagerDuty containing the details specified in the IncidentBuilder. A helper IncidentBuilder is provided for the sake of simplicity to ease with the creation of trigger incidents. The trigger event requires two mandatory parameters:
  • service_key (The GUID of one of your "Generic API" services. This is the "Integration Key" listed on a Generic API's service detail page.)
  • description: Text that will appear in the incident's log associated with this event. More details can be provided to the incident as previously mentioned by calling the available methods offered by the IncidentBuilder.

TriggerIncident incident = TriggerIncident.TriggerIncidentBuilder
        .create("SERVICE_KEY", "Incident Test")
        .client("Creacodetive - PagerDutyEventsClient")
        .clientUrl("http://www.creacodetive.com")
        .details("This is an incident test to test PagerDutyEventsClient")
        .contexts(Arrays.asList(new ImageContext("http://src.com"), new LinkContext("http://href.com")))
        .build();
pagerDutyEventsClient.trigger(incident);

• Acknowledge: This will send a new acknowledge incident to PagerDuty based upon the 'serviceKey' and 'incidentKey' provided. Please note that PagerDuty does not support neither description nor details to be added to the acknowledge event.

AcknowledgeIncident ack = AcknowledgeIncident.AcknowledgeIncidentBuilder
        .create("SERVICE_KEY", "INCIDENT_KEY")
        .build();
pagerDutyEventsClient.acknowledge(ack);

• Resolve: This will send a new resolve incident to PagerDuty based upon the 'service_key' and 'incident_key' provided. More details about the resolution can be provided by populating the details and description fields.

ResolveIncident resolve = ResolveIncident.ResolveIncidentBuilder
        .create("SERVICE_KEY", "INCIDENT_KEY")
        .details("Resolving - This is an incident test to test PagerDutyEventsClient")
        .description("Resolving description").build();
pagerDutyEventsClient.resolve(resolve);

Integration:

PagerDuty Events Client can be easily integrated in other projects by adding the following snippet to the pom:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.github.dikhan</groupId>
  <artifactId>pagerduty-client</artifactId>
  <version>2.0.2</version>
</dependency>

The library uses SL4J facade for logging purposes. Thus, making it fully flexible for integration with other projects whereby a specific logging implementation is already being used (e,g: log4j, logback, etc).
