Stackdriver Integration Guide

Stackdriver Integration

Stackdriver aggregates metrics, logs, and events from infrastructure, giving developers and operators a rich set of observable signals that speed root-cause analysis and reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR).

How Stackdriver users benefit from PagerTree

Stackdriver triggers alerts when monitoring policies are breached. PagerTree acts as the dispatcher for these alerts, determining the right people to notify based on on-call schedules. PagerTree notifies them via email, sms, voice, and/or push notifications until the alert is acknowledged.

Functionality of Integration

The Stackdriver integration is one-way, meaning:

• When an alert is Open (incident.state == 'open') in Stackdriver, an alert is created in PagerTree automatically.
• When an alert is Closed (incident.state == 'closed') in Stackdriver, the alert is resolved in PagerTree automatically.
