The dedup key is the incident_key
field if you click "View message" on the incident in PD's timeline. The response
back if you print
it should be the dedup key as well, and acknowledgements or resolutions with that key should update the appropriate incident.
What seems strange to me is that the source
doesn't seem to be showing up in the PD UI, which I would expect to have show up even more than the dedup key.
Ah, if you visit an incident and click on a specific alert, the alert details show the source and the "Alert Key" as it's called:
For the incidents I’ve created the dedupe_key does not show up in the incident key... it actually always shows was none.
@genebean are you looking at an incident which has alerts associated with it?
Because then the dedup key will be present in the alert and not incident.
Per the doc: https://support.pagerduty.com/docs/alerts#enabling-alerts
When enabled, the incident_key is deprecated and becomes null. De-duplication will be based on on the alert_key instead of the incident_key.
When I trigger an event like below the dedup key does not appear anywhere on the resulting incident. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? My understanding is it would show up there and be usable for querying for the incident post creation.
