Verify that NodePing and PagerDuty are Communicating

You can verify that they are communicating by causing a check to fail. Once the check is restored, the corresponding incident will resolve within PagerDuty.

FAQ

Will NodePing incidents automatically resolve?

Yes, once a check is restored it will automatically resolve the PagerDuty incident.

How can I setup NodePing to be tied to multiple PagerDuty services?

Once you have two NodePing services within PagerDuty, simply follow the steps above again and add it as a second contact method for a contact. Then just add it to the checks that you'd like to trigger PagerDuty incidents.
