Dynatrace to PagerDuty Escalation

Dynatrace <-> PagerDuty

Automatically trigger PagerDuty on-call escalations the moment Dynatrace detects a problem, eliminating manual monitoring and slashing mean time to respond.

When Dynatrace detects a critical performance issue, your on-call engineers need to know immediately. This integration pack automatically triggers a PagerDuty escalation the moment a new problem is logged in Dynatrace, eliminating manual monitoring and ensuring the right team is alerted without delay. IntelliPaaS listens continuously for new Dynatrace problem alerts, extracts the issue details and pushes them directly to PagerDuty to create an escalation assigned to the correct on-call group. Critical problems are addressed the moment they occur.

The window between when Dynatrace first detects a problem and when an on-call engineer begins investigating is where incidents become outages. Every minute of unactioned alert time compounds the business impact—longer downtime, more affected customers, greater reputational risk. Traditional monitoring workflows that depend on someone watching dashboards or manually forwarding alerts introduce unpredictable delays, especially outside business hours. IntelliPaaS removes that dependency entirely by automating the detection-to-escalation chain so the PagerDuty notification reaches your on-call engineer within seconds of the Dynatrace event firing, at any hour of the day or night.

Beyond the immediate response time improvement, this integration creates a more disciplined and auditable incident management process. Every Dynatrace problem that triggers a PagerDuty escalation becomes part of a structured incident record with timestamps, severity data, and resolution tracking. Engineering leaders can analyse this data to identify recurring problem patterns, measure improvements in mean time to respond and mean time to recover, and make evidence-based decisions about where to invest in observability coverage or infrastructure resilience. The result is not just faster incident response—it is a continuously improving operational posture built on clean, connected data from your monitoring and on-call platforms.

Why Deploy This Use Case
  • A new problem is detected in Dynatrace—either by an automated performance threshold breach or a simulated API event—and IntelliPaaS receives the webhook payload in real time.
  • IntelliPaaS extracts the problem title, severity, affected entity, and Dynatrace problem URL from the payload, then formats this information as a structured PagerDuty escalation payload.
  • A new escalation is automatically created in PagerDuty and assigned to the correct on-call group based on configurable routing rules, with the full Dynatrace problem context included in the alert.
  • The on-call engineer receives the PagerDuty notification with complete problem details, enabling them to begin investigating immediately without needing to log into Dynatrace to understand what triggered the alert.

Use Case Highlights

Real-time on-call escalation
Dynatrace problems instantly trigger PagerDuty escalations to the right engineers.
Correct group routing
Escalations are automatically assigned to the appropriate on-call group every time.
Eliminated manual monitoring
Engineers stop watching dashboards and let IntelliPaaS trigger the response.
Faster mean time to respond
Teams are notified and can act the moment Dynatrace detects an issue.
Reduced alert fatigue
Structured escalations replace noisy manual alerts with clear actionable information.
Monitoring to on-call automation
Every Dynatrace problem detection automatically triggers a PagerDuty escalation to the correct on-call group - no manual handoff required.
