What's New: Enhanced PagerDuty Analytics for Faster Insights and Smarter Recommendations
Data has become the lifeblood of businesses, empowering organizations to make more informed decisions, drive innovation, and gain a competitive edge. McKinsey touts the benefits of adopting data-supported capabilities, referring to the various ways data is utilized to enable and enhance the functioning of an organization.
Democratize Automation with AI-Generated Runbooks
Operational efficiency is as critical within the IT and engineering teams as any other part of the business. Automating repetitive tasks and reducing escalations within and to these teams is of immense value. While automation saves time and boosts productivity, the complexity of developing automation can be a limiting factor and bottleneck. Generative AI is a paradigm shift here, in that it brings consumer-style simplicity to assisting in the development of enterprise-grade automation.
Routing Incidents with Event Orchestration
Have events that you know should go to one team or another based on set criteria? Stop bouncing those from team to team and immediately route them to the right person dynamically with Event Orchestration.
Suppressing Alerts with Event Orchestration
Some events are just informational. Do they need to wake you up or interrupt you from other work? No. Suppress them with Event Orchestration.
Add Notes to an Incident with Event Orchestration
Kick start your incident response with the right context. Populate incident notes with wikis, runbooks, or additional notes to reduce tribal knowledge and codify response processes with Event Orchestration.
Process Automation v4.16.0 Release Notes
Product Managers Jake and Forrest are back to share exciting new improvements in the 4.16.0 release of PagerDuty Process Automation.

Notification Alternatives to SMS
Product Managers Abby Allen and Vivek Raj Saxena join Engineering Manager Girish Shankarraman to talk with Mandi Walls about the challenges and regulatory environment of SMS notifications. SMS is a popular notification channel for PagerDuty users but other types of notifications can get you important information faster.
Enriching Incidents with Event Orchestration
Event data isn’t always helpful. Instead of parsing this by hand and hoping you’re reading it right, enrich these incidents. Add key fields that tell you exactly what’s happening immediately with Event Orchestration.
Pausing Incidents with Event Orchestration
Some incidents resolve themselves without any intervention. Getting alerted for these incidents is just an interruption that you don’t need. Pause incident creation and only get alerted if the incident doesn’t resolve in the usual timeframe with Event Orchestration.

The Unplanned Show, Episode 8: Platform Engineering with Martin Van Son
In this episode, Martin Van Son provides a simplified definition of platforms in this context: a way for internal users to request anything from environments to deployments. The platform engineering comes in because someone needs to own stitching together and automating away all the complexity involved to complete that action. In the end, both the consumers and the creators save time. Furthermore, platform engineers have an opportunity to encode best practices and cost saving measures that are often forgotten when users are left to their own devices.

Demo Roundup: PagerDuty Operations Cloud for Kubernetes
In this demo, Corbin Mills shows how to use the PagerDuty Operations Cloud to streamline and automate how a node failure is resolved. You’ll see how he uses event orchestration (in PagerDuty AIOps) to enrich an alert with pod names, and automatically runs a job to check the Kube API status, so that a responder has instant context. AIOps is also grouping and suppressing alerts. Then you’ll see how the responder can run more health status checks without the need to SSH into the environment or interrupt a co-worker for access.
