Watcher: Allow defining PagerDuty severity field

[Benny-Git]

Describe the feature:

After switching to PagerDuty API V2 ( #32243, #32285), I would like to have the ability to set the severity of a PagerDuty event.
This is currently hard coded to "critical", which would result in PagerDuty ringing my phone in the middle of the night, if Watcher detects a slight increase in our load.

Is this something that you are still dealing with? Have you found any work arounds?

[alexfrancoeur]

For those following this issue, our new alerting framework supports multiple PagerDuty severities and action types.

The action’s type: Trigger, Resolve, or Acknowledge.
The event’s severity: Info, warning, error, or critical.

For more details on the integration itself, check out the documentation here: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/pagerduty-action-type.html

This request is talking about watcher, you are talking about alerting & action which are different features.

Is watcher being phased out?

[gerardpeters]

Is this issue ever being resolved? I would like to send send events to pagerduty with a severity other than critical.

I create event rules within pagerduty to get around it, not the solution but something that kept it ticking whilst this hopefully gets worked on
