Create a connection with PagerDuty

When adding your first PagerDuty widget, you'll be asked to create a connection to PagerDuty so that we're able to collect your data and display it on the dashboard. You only need to create this connection once – we'll take care of the rest.

The create a connection box will ask you to enter your API Key and PagerDuty subdomain.
To find your API Key, log into PagerDuty and select Configuration.
Then click API Access.
On the next page, click + Create New API Key.
Add a description, then select v2 Current.
Then click Create Key. Add this to the API Key field in Geckoboard.
Next, add your PagerDuty subdomain.
Click Connect.

Note

PagerDuty v1 API Keys will be deprecated in the coming months. Be sure use a v2 API Key when creating a new account connection.
