FAQ

Does LibreNMS resolve PagerDuty incidents once the issue has been resolved?

Yes, incidents will be resolved in PagerDuty once LibreNMS detects that it’s no longer an issue.

If I acknowledge or resolve an incident within PagerDuty, will those reflect in LibreNMS?

No, at this time we do not have a two-way integration with LibreNMS.

I’m not able to trigger or resolve PagerDuty incidents from LibreNMS. What could be wrong?

Check that your timezone in PHP and MySQL both match the system timezone. If they do not, you will not see any notifications.
