PagerDuty Setup

The Pulumi PagerDuty provider uses the PagerDuty SDK to manage and provision resources.

Pulumi relies on the PagerDuty SDK to authenticate requests from your computer to PagerDuty. Your credentials are never sent to pulumi.com.

The Pulumi PagerDuty Provider needs to be configured with PagerDuty credentials before it can be used to create resources.

Configuring Credentials

Once obtained, there are two ways to communicate your authorization tokens to Pulumi:

  1. Set the environment variable PAGERDUTY_TOKEN:

    $ export PAGERDUTY_TOKEN=XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

  2. Set them using configuration, if you prefer that they be stored alongside your Pulumi stack for easy multi-user access:

    $ pulumi config set pagerduty:token XXXXXXXXXXXXXX --secret

Remember to pass --secret when setting pagerduty:token so that it is properly encrypted. A full set of configuration parameters can be found listed on the Project README.
