Keynote Integration

Introduction

Keynote is a global leader in Internet and mobile cloud monitoring. With Keynote, you can quickly diagnose performance problems at the application, transaction, and infrastructure levels in real-time. By integrating your Keynote account with PagerDuty, you’ll receive phone or SMS alerts for web and mobile performance issues moments after they are detected.

Setting up the PagerDuty / Keynote integration

In PagerDuty:

  1. Click on the Services tab
