PagerDutySmallCard Component

The PagerDutySmallCard is a component initially contributed by community members that you can add to the Entity page. This card presents similar information to PagerDutyCard but in a smaller form factor. It allows you to:

  • check the status of your service
  • access relevant service metrics
  • track service standards compliance
  • check who is on call
  • open the service in PagerDuty
  • create new incidents

This card doesn't show any incidents or recent changes as the idea is to be able to quickly the service status and use as less space on the screen as possible. For this reason we moved the insights and on call sections into collapsable panels that can be expanded when needed.

You can add the PagerDutySmallCard to your Backstage application easily by following the steps highlighted in Configuring Backstage but use the PagerDutySmallCard instead.

The on call and insights tabs can be removed from the Card by following the steps detailed in hide on call and hide insights.

You can optionally also disable the chance to create new incidents from the card by making it read-only. Refer to the documentation to see how to do it.
