Poweradmin Integration Guide

Monitor from one to thousands of servers and network devices with an easy to use interface. Collect data, run reports, and alert if values are over thresholds you set. Alerts can be sent via PagerDuty. Note: This integration is only available with Poweradmin versions 6.0 or higher.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trigger incidents from Poweradmin on multiple PagerDuty services?

Yes. You’ll need to create a different PagerDuty action for each separate integration key.

My PagerDuty incidents aren’t triggering. Where can I check for errors?

Look in the service log file, typically at:

C:\Program Files (x86)\PA Server Monitor\Logs\PA Server Monitor_Service_Log.txt

Search for PagerDuty: and you will see the interactions that are happening with PagerDuty.  Any errors that are happening will be shown there.
