PagerDuty Alert GitHub Action

Sends a critical PagerDuty alert, e.g. on action failure.

Prerequisites

  1. Create a service integration in PagerDuty:
    1. Go to PagerDuty > "Services" > Pick your service > "Integrations" > "Add a new integration"
    2. Choose a name (e.g. "Your GitHub CI/CD") and "Use our API directly" with "Events API v2"
    3. Copy the integration key
  2. Set up a secret in your GitHub repo to store the integration key, e.g. "PAGERDUTY_INTEGRATION_KEY"

Inputs

pagerduty-integration-key

Required: the integration key for your PagerDuty service

pagerduty-dedup-key

Optional: a dedup_key for your alert. This will enable PagerDuty to coalesce multiple alerts into one. More documentation is available here.
