API Stability Long-Term

The testPagerDutyAction() GraphQL mutation is used to test a PagerDuty action.

To create a PagerDuty action, use the createPagerDutyAction() mutation. You can use the updatePagerDutyAction() to update one and the deleteActionV2() to delete an action.

For more information on PagerDuty actions, see the Action Type: PagerDuty documentation page. You may also want to look at the Actions page for related information.

Syntax

graphql
testPagerDutyAction(
      input: TestPagerDutyAction!
   ): TestResult!

For the input, you'll have to provide several parameters and values for the action you want to test. See the Given Datatype for more details.

Example

Below is an example of how this mutation field might be used:

Given Datatype

For this input datatype, you would provide the name of the view associated with the action to test, a trigger name — which can be a mock value for testing — the routing key to authenticate with PagerDuty, and some other parameters. These are listed and explained in the table below:

Table: TestPagerDutyAction

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultStabilityDescription
Some arguments may be required, as indicated in the Required column. For return datatypes, this indicates that you must specify which fields you want returned in the results.
Table last updated: Sep 20, 2024
eventDatastringyes Long-TermJSON data representing one or more events. One event can be supplied as a JSON object. Multiple events must be supplied as a list of JSON objects.
namestringyes Long-TermThe name of the action.
routingKeystringyes Long-TermThe routing key to authenticate with PagerDuty.
severitystringyes Long-TermThe severity level to give to the message.
triggerNamestringyes Long-TermThe name of the action. This is a mock value; the trigger doesn't have to exist.
useProxybooleanyes Long-TermDefines whether the action should use the configured proxy to make web requests.
viewNamestringyes Long-TermThe name of the view of the action.

Returned Datatype

The returned datatype will tell you if the test was succesful and it will provide a message explaining results. This is described in the table below:

Table: TestResult
